Pressure Cooker Pot Roast Recipe (Instant Pot)

Step 1

Season beef with salt and pepper. Remaining salt and pepper will be added later to the pot.

Step 2

Turn Instant Pot on "Saute" setting and add the olive oil or melt the butter in the pot.Sear beef on both sides until brown, then remove from pot and set aside.

Step 3

Add onions and garlic. Saute for 3-5 minutes or until tender and slightly browned.

Step 4

Add the beef, broth, tomato paste, dried herbs, Worcestershire sauce, red wine, and remaining salt and pepper. Close the lid and pressure cook on high pressure for 50 minutes. (These are the steps we did for our Instant Pot- Press "Cancel" to stop the "Saute" setting. Press the "Manual" button. Set the time to 50 minutes.) If the chuck roast is about 3 pounds or more, you need to add about 10 minutes cooking time.

Step 5

After the cooking time is complete, press "Cancel" and carefully release the pressure.

Step 6

Once pressure completely releases, open lid and add the potatoes, carrots, celery and mushrooms. Close lid and pressure cook for an additional 10 minutes. When cooking has finished press "Cancel" and release the steam pressure again. Serve warm.
