Another day, another Instant Pot recipe. Check out my Instant Pot recipe collection!
I saw where a blogger friend of mine posted a photo of vegetable soup on her Instagram using tomato juice as a base, and my mind started wandering. Then the next thing I knew, I was at home making this bloody mary beef goulash. I just loved the idea of using tomato juice as a base for a soup or a stew.
I’m actually not a tomato juice drinker, even though my dad had it a lot when I was a kid. But the ingredients used in a bloody mary, ( I get it there are A LOT of different ways to prepare one) Worcheshire sauce, horseradish, and Tobasco just happen to be some of my favorite flavors to have with beef. I went a little light on the spice in this recipe. This was a weeknight dinner I was feeding to three small kids. By all means, add as much spice to this as you like!
Before I go on, I will show you how I made this in my Instant Pot, even though I bet this could also be made in a dutch oven or in a pan. 🙂
check out the video!
I used cubed steak in my recipe and it turned out super tender! I used cubed steak because I found it on sale, and that’s what I had. You should use your favorite beef in your recipe!
Also, do you make your bloody mary’s differently? add those ingredients to yours, and I bet you’ll love it!
In addition to eating goulash as a stew. I also sometimes like to serve it over polenta or over mashed sweet potatoes.
