Ingredients For Instant Pot Roast Beef
- Beef Chuck Roast: This cut of meat is perfect for slow cooking in the Instant Pot. It becomes tender and juicy, making it the star of your dish.
- 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 Chuck Roast in the Instant Pot?
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.
Put the roast back in the Instant Pot and then add in onions, garlic and seasonings.
Next pour the beef broth over the meat.
Place the lid on the pressure cooker and turn the pressure valve to sealed. Set manual high-pressure time for 100 minutes, doing a natural pressure release for 20 minutes before letting the remaining pressure out.
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. Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set for a manual high-pressure time of 6 minutes, allowing for a quick release after the cooking time. Remove vegetables from pot.
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.
