Pressure Cooker Chuck Roast
Description
This recipe begins by seasoning a 4-pound beef chuck roast with salt and pepper. The roast is then browned in a pressure cooker using the sauté setting, forming a flavorful crust on all sides. Chopped onions and carrots are added and sautéed until golden before pouring in beef broth. The roast is returned to the pot for pressure cooking set to manual for 60 minutes.
After cooking, natural pressure release is allowed, followed by a quick venting of residual pressure. The beef becomes tender and infused with the flavors of the broth and vegetables. The cooking liquid can be reserved and thickened to make a savory gravy that complements the meat well.
The roast is served with vegetables or a fresh salad, making a filling and balanced meal. Using the pressure cooker significantly reduces cooking time compared to traditional methods and simplifies the process of preparing a satisfying pot roast.
Ingredients
- 4 lb beef chuck roast
- 3 carrot chopped into large pieces, large
- 1 onion chopped, large
- 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 tbsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp black pepper adjust to taste
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp parsley for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Season the beef generously on all sides with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your pressure cooker on the sauté setting. Sauté the beef on all sides until you get a nice golden brown crust.
- Remove the beef from the pressure cooker and set aside. Add the chopped onion and carrots to the pot. Sauté until they turn golden brown. Then, pour the beef broth into the pot.
- Place the beef back into the pot and turn the cooking setting to manual for 60 minutes.
- Once the hour is up, allow the pressure cooker to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. Being careful not to burn yourself, turn the valve to the “venting” setting and release the remaining pressure from the pot. I like to use a kitchen towel to do this extra safely.
- Serve the beef with your favorite vegetables or a salad. Keep the liquid and use it to make gravy!
