OLD-FASHIONED PRESSURE COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the roast well with salt and pepper. Select Sauté and preheat the pressure cooking pot. When hot, add the vegetable oil. Add the three pieces of roast to the cooking pot so that they lay flat in the pot. Cook until the beef is browned and releases easily from the pot. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the onion to the cooking pot. Sauté for about 3 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the 3 1/2 cups water and beef base or bouillon, tomato paste, and bay leaf. Return the roast and any accumulated juices to the pot. Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and 50 minutes cook time.
• When the cook time ends, turn off the pressure cooker. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes and finish with a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil.
• If you wish to cook potatoes and carrots with this meal, proceed with steps 4-6. Otherwise, skip to step 7: Add potatoes and carrots directly to the juices remaining in the cooking pot. Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and 3 minutes cook time.
• When the cook time ends, turn off the pressure cooker. Use a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Check the potatoes for doneness. If needed, select Sauté and simmer in the juices until potatoes reach your desired tenderness.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes and carrots to a serving bowl and sprinkle with parsley. Cover with foil until ready to serve.
• Pour the juices in the cooking pot through a mesh strainer into a fat separator. (You can skip the strainer if you like onions in your gravy. Be sure to remove the bay leaf, though!) Skim off any excess fat. Return the juices to the cooking pot.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Add ½ cup hot cooking juices to the flour mixture and stir to combine. Add the slurry to the pot, stirring constantly. Select Sauté and bring the gravy to a boil, stirring constantly until it thickens. Taste the gravy and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• To serve, cut the roast into pieces and place on a rimmed serving platter. Ladle half the gravy over the roast and pour the rest of the gravy into a gravy boat to serve with the potatoes and carrots.

PRESSURE COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Season the beef generously all over with about 1 tablespoon salt. Using the sauté setting, warm the oil in a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker. Add one chunk of the beef and sear one side until deeply browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the first chunk and repeat with the remaining chunk, searing one side. (You can brown more than one side of each chunk, but one side is enough to build flavor without spending too much time on this step.) If the pressure cooker gives you a "hot" error, simply turn it off and use residual heat to cook. When it cools, turn the sauté setting back on.
• Add the pearl onions and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is softened, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine, vinegar and 1/2 cup water; season generously with black pepper and lightly with salt. Using a metal or wooden spoon or spatula, scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Turn off the sauté setting. Add the herbs and nestle the beef into the liquid. Cook on high pressure for 1 hour.
• Make the pickled onions, if desired: Bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the pearl onions and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring, to dissolve the sugar and warm the onions through, about 1 minute. Remove the mixture from heat and set aside at room temperature to pickle for at least 1 hour. (You can make the pickled onions up to 5 days ahead; store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator.)
• Allow the pressure to reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Add the vegetables to the pot, tucking them below the liquid. Cook on high pressure until the beef and vegetables are both tender, an additional 4 minutes. Quick-release the pressure by twisting the pressure knob to vent, then open the lid. Using tongs and a slotted spoon, remove the beef and vegetables to a serving platter. Break the beef into large chunks to serve. At this point, you can simply drizzle some cooking liquid over the top of the beef and vegetables, and top with the drained, pickled pearl onions to serve. Discard the remaining cooking liquid or strain it, refrigerate it, discard the layer of fat and freeze the remaining liquid as beef stock.
• If you'd prefer a thicker gravy, strain the cooking liquid and return it to the pot. Using the sauté function, bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, combine the butter and flour in a small bowl and knead it together with your fingers until it is uniform, almost like a dough. Once the liquid is boiling, drop the butter-flour mixture into the pot, whisking well to combine. Let it bubble until it is lightly thickened, about 5 minutes, then drizzle some gravy over the pot roast and vegetables, and top with drained, pickled onions. Serve extra gravy on the side.
