If you do this the Julia Child way, it is a an all day production, although well worth it. But, if you want a pretty similar flavor, this will give you pretty good results in a lot less time.
Hint: take advantage of the frequent half-price sales on Top Sirloin and stock up on it, freezing what you don't use. It is very versatile, flavorful and tender and can be used in any recipe calling for beef cubes.

Melt the butter in a large skillet. I use cast iron, but any will do. Add the mushrooms and try not to crowd them. Cook them in two batches to brown if you are not too pressed for time, until they are golden. Remove from pan and save. Add lardon to the pan. Brown them and then remove from pan and save. Add the onions to the pan and cook until soft. Remove from the pan and set aside. Salt and pepper the steak and add the steak to the pan, adding butter if needed, until the meat is browned. Transfer steak, lardons, onions, and mushrooms to your pressure cooker. Add flour to the ingredients and stir until the flour coats all ingredients. Pour in red wine, and onion soup mix, stirring everything well, over medium heat. Add enough water to cover all ingredients and add 2 bay leaves. Cover pressure cooker and bring ingredients to a boil. When indicator on pressure cooker pops up, turn heat down to a simmer and cook for 30-45 minutes.
If mixture is not thick enough, mix a tblsp of cornstarch into a 1/4 cup of cold water and add to pot, stirring and simmering for one more minute to thicken.
Boil water and prepare egg noodles according to package directions, during the last 20 minutes of cooking time.
Serve meat and gravy mixture over egg noodles.
