# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Set the Instant Pot to sauté on medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, breaking it apart until browned. Drain off excess fat, leaving about two tablespoons.
02 - Add chopped onion, nutmeg if using, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the beef. Sauté for about 2 minutes until onions are translucent.
03 - Stir in minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Continue sautéing for an additional 2 minutes.
04 - Pour in beef broth and cream of mushroom soup, then add egg noodles. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
05 - Seal the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 14 minutes. Allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then perform a quick release to release remaining pressure.
06 - Open the pot and stir in sour cream until fully incorporated, creating a creamy texture.
07 - Sprinkle fresh thyme over the stroganoff if desired before serving.

# Extra Tips & Details:

01 - Use 80/20 or 85/15 ground beef to reduce excess grease and improve flavor.
02 - Substitute 1 teaspoon dried thyme for fresh thyme if unavailable.
03 - Any small pasta shapes can replace egg noodles if used in equal quantity.
04 - Leftovers store in airtight containers refrigerated up to 4 days or frozen up to 3 months.
05 - For stovetop preparation, brown meat with onion and garlic, drain grease, add remaining ingredients except noodles, cook noodles separately, then combine and heat through.
