Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb beef chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the roast:
    Generously season the chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. Sear the roast:
    Set the Instant Pot to "Sauté" mode and heat the olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the roast and set aside.
  3. Sauté the onions and garlic:
    Add the diced onion and garlic to the Instant Pot, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Deglaze the pot:
    Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. This adds flavor to the broth.
  5. Add the roast and seasonings:
    Return the roast to the Instant Pot. Add the dried thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf.
  6. Pressure cook:
    Lock the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to "Sealing." Cook on "High Pressure" for 60 minutes.
  7. Add vegetables:
    After 60 minutes, release the pressure manually. Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot, then reseal and cook on "High Pressure" for an additional 10 minutes.
  8. Final release and serve:
    Once the cooking time is up, perform a quick pressure release. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Transfer the pot roast and vegetables to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve with the cooking liquid as gravy.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine during the deglazing step.
  • You can adjust the cooking time for a larger or smaller roast (add or subtract 10-15 minutes per pound).
