Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast or pot roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- ½ cup red wine
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 3 carrots sliced into 2" pieces
- 1 rib celery chopped into 1" pieces
- 2 prigs fresh Rosemary or 1 teaspoon dry
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 bay leaf
Gravy
- ½ cup broth or water, or as needed
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Cut roast into large 3 to 4" chunks. Season generously with salt & pepper.
- Add olive oil to the Instant Pot and turn on to saute. Sear beef in batches to brown, about 4 minutes per side.
- Remove beef and add onions to the Instant Pot (you can add a bit more oil if needed). Cook 2-3 minutes to soften.
- Add red wine to the Instant Pot. Scrape the bottom to remove any brown bits (to avoid a burn notice).
- Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Add browned beef and stir.
- Cook on high pressure for 45 minutes. Natural release 15 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove beef and vegetables and set on a plate to rest. Discard bay leaf.
- Combine broth and cornstarch in a mason jar and shake very well until smooth. Turn the broth in the Instant Pot onto saute to bring to a boil. Whisk in cornstarch and cook until thickened and bubbly, add additional cornstarch as necessary. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve gravy over pot roast.
Notes
- Gravy can be thickened with additional flour if needed.Cornstarch can be used in place of flour if desired. Mix equal parts cornstarch and cold water. Whisk a little at a time into boiling broth until thickened.
- Baby potatoes are best in this recipe. I have found they hold their shape better while other potatoes tend to crumble or fall apart and become mushy.
- Scraping the brown bits is an important step that helps avoid getting burn notice. Don't skip this step!
- Add in extra veggies from your fridge, almost anything goes!
