Ingredients
For this delectable pot roast, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 3-4 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4-5 carrots, chopped
- 4-5 potatoes, quartered
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
Now that we’ve got our ingredients lined up, let’s get cooking!
- Start by seasoning the beef roast with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy—really rub it in there.
- Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté setting and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides until it’s nicely browned. This step locks in those flavors, y’all!
- Remove the roast and set it aside. In the same pot, throw in the chopped onions and garlic. Sauté until they soften, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to get all that good stuff off.
- Return the roast to the pot, then add in the carrots, potatoes, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf. Make sure everything is nice and cozy in there.
- Close the lid, seal the vent, and set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for about 60-70 minutes. The exact time will vary based on how tender you want your meat.
- When the time’s up, let it release naturally for about 10-15 minutes before doing a quick release for any remaining pressure.
- Remove the roast and veggies, discarding bay leaf and herb stems. Serve it all up with those luscious gravy drippings, and get ready for compliments!
And there you have it! A hearty, comforting dish that’s as easy as pie with the help of your Instant Pot. Enjoy your delicious pot roast with loved ones, and watch it disappear in no time!
