Ingredients
- 5 lbs chuck roast cut into 2 chunks that would fit in the pot
- 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup pepperoncini juice from the jar
- 3/4 cup beef broth low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 packet of dry ranch dressing mix
- 1 packet of Au Jus Mix
- 12 pepperoncinis whole
- 1 stick unsalted butter sliced
- 8 garlic cloves whole
- 5 bay leaves
Cornstarch Slurry:
- 2-3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Set Instant Pot to Saute - Normal mode. When it reads "Hot" add the oil and wait for the oil to heat up.
- Brown the meat in batches. If needed cut the chuck roast in two, so it fits in the pot. Cook each piece on EACH side for full 5 minutes without turning.
- If needed, add a bit more oil to the pot when searing the rest of the pieces.
- Remove the seared pieces on a plate and cover with foil to keep them warm.
- Once all the beef has been browned and set aside its time to deglaze the pot.
- Add the 1/2 cup of water to the pot and using a wooden spoon scrape the bits and pieces that stuck to the bottom and sides of the pot until its cleared.
- Add onion and minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Add the beef broth, Pepperoncini juice and Worcestershire sauce.
- Add the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, Ranch dressing dry mix and Au Jus mix. Stir to combine.
- Turn off the sauté mode.
- Add the beef in layers, and add sliced butter and garlic cloves between each layer.
- Add the Pepperoncinis to the pot as well as bay leaves.
- Close the lid and seal the valve. Cook for 70 minutes on High Pressure. Once the Instant Pot beeps, do a 15 Minute Natural Pressure Release. Release manually the remaining pressure.
- Open the lid and turn the Instant Pot to Sauté mode.
- If you want the gravy to be thicker, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until fully combined.
- Add the mixture to the pot and gently stir. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. If you want to thicken it even more, add another round of cornstarch slurry. The sauce will thicken more as it cools off as well.
- Discard the bay leaves and serve the roast with mashed or baked potatoes. Garnish with extra Pepperoncinis and chopped parsley.
