Notes

Cut the meat against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Keep the lid closed throughout cooking unless you are adding ingredients. Set it and walk away without disturbing the cooking environment.
You want the beef deeply tender and falling apart. If you pull it and the meat still has resistance, put the lid back on and give it another thirty to forty-five minutes.
Serve: Serve warm with broccoli or cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, or miracle noodles. It’s also delicious with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or any type of rice if you aren't low-carb.
Store: Cool made-ahead or leftover beef stroganoff completely and transfer it into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm on the stovetop over medium heat until heated through.
