Magical Instant Pot Roast #instantpot

I got an Instant Pot last week and have been cooking with it ever since! One of my favorite slow cooker recipes is with a Roast so I thought my first recipe needed to be Mama’s Pot Roast!

You’ll Need:

• 1 (3- TO 4-POUND) BONELESS BEEF CHUCK ROAST
• SALT AND PEPPER
• 1 TABLESPOON VEGETABLE OIL
• 1 ONION, CHOPPED INTO BIG PIECES
• 2 CUPS BEEF BROTH
• 1 POUND OF SMALL (1 TO 3 INCH) YELLOW POTATOES
• 1 POUND OF CARROTS
• LIPTON ONION SOUP MIX

Instructions:

1. SEASON ROAST WITH SALT AND PEPPER. SELECT SAUTE AND ADD OIL TO THE COOKING POT. WHEN HOT, BROWN ROAST ON ALL SIDES, 8 TO 10 MINUTES. PLACE INTO THE COOKING POT.
2. ADD THE CHOPPED ONIONS, CARROTS AND POTATOES TO THE POT. SPRINKLE ON THE LIPTON ONION SOUP MIX AND POUR ON THE BEEF BROTH.
3. SELECT HIGH PRESSURE AND SET THE TIMER FOR 80 MINUTES. WHEN BEEP SOUNDS, TURN OFF PRESSURE COOKER AND ALLOW PRESSURE TO RELEASE NATURALLY FOR 15 MINUTES. AFTER 15 MINUTES, USE A QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE TO RELEASE ANY REMAINING PRESSURE.
4. CAREFULLY REMOVE LID. TRANSFER POTATOES CARROTS AND BEEF TO SERVING DISHES.
5. IF YOU WANT GRAVY, MIX CORNSTARCH AND WATER (3T CORNSTARCH WITH 3T WATER) AND MIX IN THE JUICES IN THE POT. COOK WHILE STIRRING ON SAUTE UNTIL THICKENED.

Notes:

• IF YOU WANT TO COOK THIS IN THE SLOW COOKER. ADD ALL INGREDIENTS INTO THE SLOW COOKER AND COOK ON LOW 6 TO 8 HOURS
