Multi-Cooker Beef Stroganoff
Bottom Round Steak is an affordable, leaner cut of beef derived from the rump area of a beef animal. It is inherently tough because it contains muscles are that heavily utilized by the animal, so careful cookery methods are required to improve tenderness. Try using this cut for braises or slow- or pressure-cooking recipes.

- Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of oil to the pot. Add chopped onion and cook stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper, and stir until combined. Add the browned beef pieces and stir.
- Place lid on multi-cooker and lock according to manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure the valve is set to sealing position.

- In a small mixing bowl, combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Add slurry to the pot.
- Select the sauté function and bring the gravy to a boil, stirring constantly until it thickens.
