Ingredients
-
1 ½ pounds beef stew meat such as chuck, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
-
2 cups thinly sliced red onions
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
-
5 cloves garlic, chopped
-
1 tablespoon no-salt-added tomato paste
-
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
-
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
-
3 cups angel hair coleslaw mix or finely shredded cabbage
-
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
-
12 ounces whole-wheat egg noodles
-
¾ cup whole-milk plain yogurt
Method
-
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.
