Best 4 Instant Pot Pork Roast With Cauliflower Gravy Recipes

INSTANT POT PORK ROAST WITH VEGETABLES & GRAVY

Steps:

• Trim the fat cap on the roast, this will be a large white area of fat on one side of the roast. Trim it down to about 1/8th of an inch thick. It is ok if you trim through to the meat in some areas. Trim up any other large areas of fat.
• Tie the pork roast with kitchen twine. See the video below for a visual tutorial on tying a roast.
• Rub the roast completely with 1 tbsp of dijon mustard. Sprinkle the Italian dressing mix packet on all sides of the roast.
• Turn the Instant Pot onto saute mode, medium, and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Wait until it becomes hot (it will read hot on the Instant Pot display screen).NOTE: If you are using frozen pork roast, skip this step.
• Place the seasoned pork roast in the pot and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
• Remove the roast from the pot and set aside.
• YOU CANNOT SKIP THIS STEP OR YOU WILL GET A BURN WARNING DURING PRESSURE COOKING.
• Pour the 2 cups chicken broth into the pot, keeping the saute function on. Scrape the bottom of the pot until ALL the brown bits are scraped up.Tip- you can lift your pot with an oven mit (it will be hot) and tilt it to the side to see if you got all the browned bits up.
• Add the 3 crushed garlic cloves, 1 bay leaf, 1 rosemary sprig and 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce to the pot liquid. It will be very dark in color, that is ok, it is all flavor!
• Add the trivet to the pot and place the pork on the trivet.
• Pop the lid on the pot and lock the pressure valve in place. Set the pot to cook on meat/stew mode for 15 minutes per pound. Ex. For my 3 lb roast it was 45 minutes.NOTE: if you are using a frozen pork roast calculate 20 minutes per pound with a 15 minute natural pressure release.
• Do a 15 minute natural pressure release, then quick release any remaining pressure.
• Remove the roast from the pot and set aside to rest. Leave the liquid in the pot to cook the veggies.
• Add the veggies to the pot and set it to cook on pressure mode, high, for 5 minutes.
• Do a quick release of pressure.
• Remove the veggies, plate them with the roast for serving.
• Season the veggies with salt & pepper.
• Strain the solids from the pot liquid by putting a mesh colander over a bowl. Discard the solids.
• Turn the now empty pot on to saute mode. Melt the 2 tbsp butter in the pot. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all purpose flour into the melted butter and whisk together to make a roux.
• Pour 2 1/2 cups of the reserved and strained liquid into the roux. Whisk vigorously to get rid of any lumps. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until it is thickened to your liking. Taste for seasonings.
• Remove the string binding from the roast. Serve the roast cut into slices with the veggies and the gravy on the side.

INSTANT POT PORK ROAST (+ CROCKPOT INSTRUCTIONS)

Steps:

• Place the pork shoulder in a dish or ziploc bag and season with the brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Rub to coat evenly with the seasonings.
• Heat the instant pot on the "saute" function. Once hot, add the olive oil then the pork. Sear for about 3 minutes per side, until all sides are golden brown. Remove to a plate.
• Add the onion, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the instant pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened and fragrant.
• Add the tomato paste and cook for about 30 seconds, until evenly mixed with the veggies. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth. Stir and scrape the bottom to lift any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.
• Place a metal or silicone trivet in the bottom of the instant pot and place the pork on it so it rests on the sauce (it's okay if it touches the sauce or if you don't have a trivet; this just makes it easier to keep the pork roast whole when you remove it after cooking).
• Place the lid on the instant pot and make sure the valve is set to "sealing." Set the instant pot to the "meat/stew" setting for 70 minutes.
• After the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before turning the valve to "venting" to release any remaining pressure. Lift the pork roast out of the instant pot and serve.
• Optional - to make gravy: Use a ladle or gravy separator to skim as much grease as possible off the top of the sauce. Stir the cornstarch into 1 tablespoon of cool water in a small bowl, then pour into the sauce. Set the instant pot to the "saute" function and cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Strain through a mesh strainer and discard solids.

POT ROAST WITH MASHED CAULIFLOWER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season on all sides with salt and pepper.

• Set the Instant Pot to "Saute" and once the liquid comes to a boil, add the flour. Whisk until mixed in and sauce has thickened, about 1-2 minutes.

• Select "Manual" and set time to 5 minutes.

INSTANT POT ROAST WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Press Saute button on electric pressure cooker to heat up pan. When the display says "Hot", add the oil, and wait until it shimmers.
• Sprinkle roast evenly with pepper.
• Brown chuck roast in one layer (if it doesn't all fit, brown in 2 batches, but it is best if all fits on one level) on both sides. Remove chuck roast temporarily.
• Add onion soup mix, beef bouillon cubes, and 2 cups water. Using a flat spatula, deglaze bottom of pan. Return chuck roast to pan.
• Secure lid. Set for Pressure Cooking at High pressure, adjust time if necessary to 25 minutes. Begin "SAUTE MAUSHROOMS".

• Remove roast, keep warm. Press Saute button.
• SAUTE MUSHROOMS:.
• While roast is cooking, saute mushrooms. Once sauteed, toss in a splash of dry sherry, and let cook down until liquid evaporates. Magic is happening. Once cooked, remove from heat.

• In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk milk and cornstarch until well blended. Whisk in softened butter, beef bouillon granules, salt and pepper.
