Easy Instant Pot Pot Roast Tender And Juicy Food

INSTANT POT POT ROAST

Steps:

• Turn the Instant Pot on to saute mode and season beef all over with salt & pepper, coating generously. After a few minutes, add the olive oil and wait until oil is hot to add chuck roast. Sear on four sides for 2-3 minutes each side until browned.
• Remove roast from heat and add red wine, simmering another 2 minutes until pot is deglazed. Turn Instant Pot off, then add beef broth, chuck roast, onion soup mix, garlic, Worcestershire, onions, potatoes, carrots and herbs, in that order.
• Place lid on Instant Pot and make sure valve is set to seal. Press the pressure cook button and set to high, then cook for 40 minutes. Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure then pressure cook for 40 minutes.
• Let the pressure naturally release (should take about 15 minutes). Open the lid when pressure gauge has dropped and the lid opens easily.
• Gently remove vegetables and set on a platter, then shred the pot roast before adding to the veggies. Meanwhile, mix the water and cornstarch together in a small bowl to form a slurry.
• Turn the Instant Pot back to saute mode and stir in slurry, bringing the juices to a boil to make the gravy. Simmer for 5 minutes or so until thickened, then pour over pot roast and veggies. Serve and enjoy!

QUICK + EASY INSTANT POT POT ROAST

• Cover and lock the lid in place. Place the vent to the sealing position and set to manual on high pressure for 40 minutes. When the cook time is done, allow the pressure to naturally release for 15 minutes.
• Release remaining pressure and remove the lid. Using a slotted spoon, transfer carrots and potatoes to a serving dish. Transfer pot roast to same dish and garnish with parsley.
• If a gravy is desired, set the pot to saute mode and bring cooking liquid to a simmer. Mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cooking liquid. Add the cornstarch mixture back to the simmering liquid; cook and stir until thickened. Spoon some of the gravy over the pot roast before serving.

EASY INSTANT POT POT ROAST (TENDER AND JUICY)

Steps:

• Season all sides of the beef with a generous amount of salt (2 to 3 teaspoons) and then set aside, at room temperature, for one hour.
• Meanwhile, make a spice mixture by stirring the onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper until blended.
• Prepare the vegetables. Peel and cut the onion into large chunks. Peel the carrots and remove the ends. Slice the carrots and celery into thick long sticks. Smash garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife and peel away the skins.
• After an hour, use paper towels to pat the beef dry on all sides (this helps the meat brown), and then rub the beef on all sides with the spice mixture. The beef should be well seasoned on all sides with the spices. (You might have some leftover.)
• Add oil to the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot (or electric pressure cooker). Select the "Sauté" setting and choose high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the beef. Cook until well-browned on all sides, about four minutes per side. Transfer the browned beef to a plate.
• Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic cloves to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally until they start to sweat and lightly brown around the edges, about 6 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a plate.
• Pour in the broth, bouillon, and apple cider vinegar, and then use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot (not doing this may result in an error while cooking at pressure).
• Turn the 'saute' function off. Place the beef back into the pot and scatter the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic around the beef. Add the rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, and baby potatoes (optional). It is okay if the liquid in the pot does not completely cover the beef and vegetables.
• Select the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" function and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Note that the timer will not start until there is enough pressure inside the pot, so the timer may not start for a few minutes. If your roast is not 3 pounds, you will need to adjust the cook time. As a general rule, when cooking beef roasts in a pressure cooker, assume 20 minutes of cook time for every pound of meat.
• When the cooking time is up, do not immediately open the lid and instead let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, release the remaining pressure by using the quick-release button (be careful to keep your hands and face away from the venting steam).
• Taste the liquid and adjust with additional salt and pepper. Transfer the beef roast to a cutting board and gently shred to your desired size and place onto a serving platter.
• If you added them, remove the potatoes and gently mash them for serving or serve whole on the platter alongside the pot roast.
• The remaining vegetables will be very soft, if you enjoy them this way, transfer them to the serving platter. If you do not like vegetables to be so soft, you can discard them. They have already done a wonderful job of flavoring the broth and roast.
• Serve drizzled with some of the liquid left in the pot. (Or make a quick gravy.)
• To make a quick gravy with the liquid left in the pot, use a strainer to remove any bits of vegetables and herbs from the liquid. Select the "Sauté" setting and choose high heat then bring the liquid to a boil and cook until it reduces by a quarter, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the cornstarch and water together. When the liquid has reduced, slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Continue to boil until the gravy thickens. Turn off the pressure cooker, and then season the gravy to taste with additional salt, pepper, or spices. (For a creamier gravy, add a small splash of cream.)

CROCK POT POT ROAST - TENDER & JUICY

Steps:

• Set your crock pot to low or simmer setting and let it heat up while you prepare the rest of the meal.
• If you drink coffee and have made some previously that would still be fresh, you may use it, it does not need to be hot because it will re-warm in the crock pot. If you do not have any coffee, then make 3 cups of it either in a coffee maker or the microwave. I do not drink coffee, so I recommend using 3 Folgers Singles (Classic Decaf).
• Cut your potatoes into halves. Leaving the peel on, salt and pepper them to your tasting and then set them aside.
• Place your roast in the crock pot first. Salt and pepper it according to your liking and I like to add a little sprinkle of garlic powder and onion powder.
• Pour your coffee into the crock pot, making sure to drench the roast in the process.
• Open your 1 lb. of baby carrots and put them around your roast so that they are completely under the coffee.
• Take your potato halves and put them with the inside of the potato touching the roast and partly in the coffee. This will depend on the size of your roast and crock pot, but make sure it is touching both the meat and the coffee in order to get the best flavor.
• Leave your crock pot on low or simmer for 6 hours, making sure to check on your potatoes after about 4 hours so that you are sure they will be cooked throughly.
