Notes
Browning for Flavor: Before pressure cooking, take a moment to sear the beef tips in the Instant Pot. This adds a rich depth of flavor to the dish as the browning process enhances the meat's natural juices.Deglazing for Full Flavor Capture: After browning the beef, deglaze the Instant Pot by pouring in a small amount of broth or wine and scraping the flavorful bits from the bottom. This not only prevents the "burn" signal but also ensures every bit of that savory goodness makes it into your final dish.
