Share:
Ingredients
- 3 pounds (1.35kg) chuck roast or rump roast beef
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion peeled and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 8 mushrooms sliced
- 8 large carrots cut into 4 parts
- 1 ½ cups (355ml) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 anchovies chopped
- 2 teaspoons mixed herbs
- 4 sprigs of fresh thyme
Instructions
- Season meat with salt and pepper.
- Select sauté function of Instant Pot, add 1 tablespoon of oil and wait until it says hot.
- Then sear the meat for 5 minutes on each side, until browned.
- Remove meat from the pot and set aside.
- Add remaining oil, scraping the bottom of the Instant Pot to remove any bits of meat stuck on.
- Then sauté the onions for 5 minutes before stirring in the garlic for 30 seconds.
- Cancel the sauté function and deglaze the insert with 2 tablespoons of stock.
- Add in the meat, mushrooms, carrots, beef stock, balsamic vinegar, anchovies, mixed herbs and thyme sprigs. Season with any salt and pepper if needed.
- Cover the Instant Pot, select manual pressue / high pressure and set the timer for 50 minutes. When done allow for a complete natural pressure release (if not cooked through, cook for another 5-10 minutes).
- Remove the pot roast from Instant Pot, slice or shred, and serve with the vegetables and sauce poured over top.
- (Optional step) Make gravy using the cooking liquid. To thicken, create a corn flour paste with 1 tablespoon corn flour and 2 tablespoons water. After the roast is cooked, remove meat, add the paste to the insert and sauté until it reaches the desired thickness.
Notes
- Cut the meat into chunks so it fits inside the Instant Pot.
- Seasoning the meat is one easy way to also add flavor. Try this Stone House Seasoning. Or if you prefer you can just some salt and ground black pepper. You can also use a dry rub of your choice that is either store-bought or homemade.
- Deglaze the insert using some beef broth to avoid getting a burn notice.
- Store – Keep leftover Instant Pot Beef Roast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- If you replace the oil with a calorie-controlled cooking spray, there are 13 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
