Quick Easy Instant Pot Pot Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function.
• Combine salt, marjoram, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over roast to coat all sides.
• Drizzle oil into the preheated pot. Wait 30 seconds, then place roast into the pot; do not move the meat, allowing it to sear for 3 or 4 minutes. Turn the roast and sear again, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat until all sides are browned, about 15 minutes total.
• Add potatoes, carrots, and onion to the pot. Pour in broth and Worcestershire sauce. Close and lock the lid; set vent to sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 60 minutes for a 3-pound roast or 80 minutes for a 5-pound roast. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Transfer roast, potatoes, carrots, and onions to a platter for serving.

Steps:

• Set Instant Pot to sauté mode, add beef and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Season with salt and pepper, then add garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, tomato paste and beef broth.
• Top beef with potatoes and carrots.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Score roast on top and sides, and place in a medium sized oven bag. Combine water, soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce; pour over roast. Arrange vegetables around meat. Place oven bag on a roasting pan.
• Place roast in oven, and immediately reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Bake for 1 1/2 hours for medium well done, or adjust time for desired doneness.

Steps:

• Set Instant Pot to "Sauté".
• Sprinkle both sides of the pot roast with salt, black pepper and paprika and set aside.
• Add oil and butter to the Instant Pot. When the oil is hot and has a shimmer, use tongs to add the roast (resist the urge to flip it for 3-4 minutes). The roast should have a beautiful golden brown sear. Turn the roast over and sear it on the opposite side. Transfer the roast to a plate.
• Add the quartered onion and carrots. Cook 3-4 minutes or until vegetables begin to caramelize and brown. Add garlic and sear for 30 seconds.
• Slowly add the broth (deglaze) while scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spatula.
• Place the Instant Pot trivet over the vegetable/broth/wine mixture and set the Instant Pot to "Pressure Cook or Manual" on HIGH and set for 55 minutes.
• Place the roast in the Instant Pot on top of the trivet.
• Place the rosemary and thyme sprigs on the roast.
• If adding root vegetables (to eat as a side) place them on the top of the roast and sprinkle with additional kosher salt and pepper.
• our the broth over the vegetables and roast.
• Place the lid on the pot and turn to LOCK position. Set the vent to the SEALED position.
• When the cooking time (55 minutes on Manual High) is done, allow the Instant Pot to natural release. This will take about 10 minutes. When the float valve (red valve) drops, it is safe to open the lid.
• Transfer the root vegetables to a platter, and (carefully) remove the roast by the handles of the trivet. Discard the herb sprigs and transfer the roast to the platter with the vegetables. Cover the platter with foil to keep the food warm.
• Set the Instant Pot to "Sauté".
• To make the gravy, use an immersion (or hand) blender to purée the liquid and vegetables in the bottom of the pot. (If an immersion blender isn't available, carefully purée the mixture in a regular blender, in batches.) If needed, season the gravy with salt & pepper, and cook the gravy for 3-5 minutes or until it thickens a little.
• While the gravy thickens, use a fork to remove excess fat from the roast and the divide the roast into large chunks, for serving. Quarter the carrots.
• Serve the root vegetables and roast with the hot gravy.
• Enjoy!
