- 4 prigs fresh thyme
- 1 1/2 lbs baby Yukon Gold potatoes scrubbed clean
ADD LATER
- 1 lb. baby carrots
- 5 talks celery chopped into 1" pieces

TO MAKE GRAVY
- 2 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 3 Tbsp water or additional beef broth
Instructions
BROWN BEEF
- Rub chuck roast with salt and 1 tsp of the black pepper.
- Add vegetable oil to Instant Pot and select "Saute". When hot, add beef and cook for 2 minute per side, until browned. Remove to a plate
DEGLAZE POT
- Add in beef broth and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits. Add horseradish, garlic, remaining 1 tsp black pepper, dried onion and rosemary. Stir gently.
- Return beef to the pot, then add thyme sprigs and potatoes.
PRESSURE COOK
- Press "Cancel - or Keep Warm/Cancel". Close lid securely and make sure the valve is set to "sealing". Select "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" and adjust the +/- button until it reads 45 minutes.
- When finished cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the valve to "venting" for a quick pressure release. When the steam has all escaped, and the pin has dropped, remove the lid and discard thyme sprig stems.
PRESSURE COOK VEGETABLES
- Add carrots, celery and onion to the pot. Close lid securely and make sure the valve is set to "sealing". Select "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" and adjust the +/- button until it reads 15 minutes.
- When finished cooking, let the pressure release naturally on it's own for 15 minutes, then carefully turn the valve to "venting" to release any remaining pressure.
- When the steam has all escaped, and the pin has dropped, remove the lid.
THICKEN LIQUID
- Carefully remove meat and all vegetables, leaving the liquid in the pot.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Whisk mixture into the hot liquid inside the pot and select "Saute".
- Cook for several minutes, stirring often, about 5 minutes or until thickened to your tastes.
SERVE
- Shred meat and serve alongside vegetables, drizzled with thickened sauce, and sprinkled with minced fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
