Instant Pot Goulash
Beef chuck simmers until fork-tender in a rich broth laced with smoked paprika, caraway, and sweet onions, mingling with soft ribbons of cabbage and juicy tomatoes. Each spoonful tastes deeply savory and comforting, with a gentle warmth that lingers.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb beef stew meat such as chuck, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 2 cup thinly sliced red onions
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 5 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 tbsp no-salt-added tomato paste
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp caraway seeds
- 3 cup angel hair coleslaw mix or finely shredded cabbage
- 1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 12 oz whole-wheat egg noodles
- 3/4 cup whole-milk plain yogurt
Instructions
- Toss beef and flour together in a medium bowl. Select Sauté setting on a programmable pressure multicooker (such as an Instant Pot; times, instructions and settings may vary according to cooker brand or model). Select High temperature setting, and allow to preheat. Add oil to the cooker. Add the flour-coated beef; cook, stirring often, until browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Add onions, thyme and garlic; cook, stirring often, until the onions soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomato paste, paprika and caraway seeds; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in cabbage, tomatoes and their juice, salt and pepper. Press Cancel.
- Cover the cooker and lock the lid in place. Turn the steam release handle to Sealing position. Select Manual/Pressure Cook setting. Select High pressure for 30 minutes. (It will take 5 to 7 minutes for the cooker to come up to pressure before cooking begins.) When cooking is complete, let the pressure release naturally (the float valve will drop; this will take 5 to 7 minutes) before removing the lid from the cooker.
- Meanwhile, prepare noodles according to package directions; drain.
- Divide the noodles evenly among 6 bowls; top with the goulash and yogurt.
