Recipe Ingredients

Beef Chuck Roast: This cut of meat is perfect for cooking in the Instant Pot. It becomes tender and juicy, making a flavorful pot roast.
Olive Oil: Used for searing the beef, it adds a subtle richness and helps to lock in the meat’s flavors before pressure cooking.
White Onion (Cut In Chunks): Add a sweet, caramel-like flavor when cooked down, complementing the savory beef.
Water: Creates the necessary steam for pressure cooking in the Instant Pot, ensuring your roast comes out tender and moist.
Bay Leaves: Add a layer of subtle, herbal flavor that infuses throughout the roast during cooking.
Rosemary: Imparts a piney aroma and taste, which pairs well with the beef and enhances its natural flavors.
Crushed Garlic: It infuses the dish with a deep, aromatic flavor that complements the beef and other ingredients.
White Pepper: Adds a gentle heat and a slightly fermented flavor that enhances the overall taste of the roast.
Worcestershire Sauce: Gives the dish a tangy, umami flavor that deepens the savoriness of the beef.
Beef Broth: Lends an additional beefy flavor to the dish, keeping the roast moist and making a flavorful base for the gravy.
Red Baby Potatoes: Add a buttery texture and mild sweetness to the dish, making it even more satisfying.
Whole Baby Bella Mushrooms: Add an earthy flavor and meaty texture, soaking up the beefy juices and herbs.
Carrots (Washed And Ends Cut Off): Bring a natural sweetness and a pop of color to the dish, while also adding some crunch for texture contrast.

How To Cook Instant Pot Pot Roast?

Step One: Turn your Instant Pot onto saute mode and add olive oil. Heat until hot, and then add in the chuck roast. Brown on each side, and then turn the saute mode off. Remove the roast from the Instant Pot and add in ½ cup of water and scrape the bottom of the pot.

Step Two: Put the roast back in the Instant Pot and then add in onions, garlic and seasonings. Next pour the beef broth over the meat. Pressure cook for 100 minutes then naturally release for 20 minutes.

Step Three: Remove the beef from the Instant Pot and run the liquid in the pot through a strainer before returning it to the pot. Add potatoes, mushrooms and carrots to the pot. Pressure cook for 6 minutes and then quick release.

Step Four: If desired, you can make a gravy out of the liquid by turning on the saute mode and then mixing a couple tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/3 cup of water and then stirring it into the liquid until it thickens. Serve and enjoy.

Storage & Reheating Instructions

Storage: Cool the roast beef to room temperature, then place leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Consume within 3-4 days for freshness.
Freezing: Wrap cooled Instant Pot Roast Beef in a plastic bag or a freezer-safe container. Mark with the date and consume within 2-3 months for best quality.
Reheating: Thaw frozen roast beef in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Use the Instant Pot gently on “Saute” or microwave to retain moisture. Ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) internally for safe consumption, avoiding overcooking to maintain juiciness.

What To Serve With Beef Pot Roast?

Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Creamy spuds with a punch of garlic make a classic pairing.
Steamed Vegetables: Seasonal veggies steamed to perfection complement the savory roast.
