Pressure Cooker Roast Beef & Vegetables
I made this pressure cooker roast in my Instant Pot in just an hour. It was chock full of flavor, tender, moist, and so easy. I especially love the fact that I could make this as a last minute dinner. No need to wait all day to enjoy one of the best comfort food recipes. I prefer using a chuck roast, but this would work with any larger cut of meat. You may also use a similar method with a pork loin.
Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Roast In Instant Pot:
3-4 pound chuck roast
1 onion, diced
1 small bag baby carrots
2 pounds red potatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup Worcestershire Sauce
½ cup Red Wine
1 cup beef broth
Directions For Pressure Cooker Roast in Instant Pot:
Peel and rough dice the onion. Rinse carrots and potatoes well and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika.
Set your Instant Pot to "Saute," and pour olive oil into the pot. Sprinkle seasoning over both sides of roast, and place it into your Instant Pot. Sear on all sides. This usually takes 1-2 minutes per side. Press "Cancel" to turn off the "Saute" feature.
Pour red wine and Worcestershire sauce over the roast. Layer the onion, potato, and baby carrots on top of and around the roast and cover with 1 cup beef broth.
Place the lid onto the Instant Pot and set to seal. Choose the "Meat" option and set to 45 minutes. When the timer is done, allow to natural release pressure. Remove the lid, and serve.
You may reserve the liquid and make a gravy by simply turning the "Saute" feature back on and adding 1 tablespoon cornstarch to the mix and whisking well until thickened. Adjust salt and pepper to taste as needed.
As you can see, this is a much easier method of preparing your favorite chuck roast. Instead of having roast just as a weekend meal, you can make this any weeknight in an hour or less. Plus, if you have a house full of men and boys like I do, this is one of those meals that they will love. A great meat and potatoes meal straight from your Instant Pot.
Happy Cooking!

Thanks for this recipe. When I make it, I omit the vegetables, (not the onions) reduce the cook time for the meat by 5 minutes, vent the pot and then add the veggies for the last 5 or 6 minutes of pressure cooking. This way, the veggies are not overcooked. Also, a nice addition is mushrooms.
