Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast, or more to taste
1 pound baby red potatoes
4 large carrots, chopped into large chunks
1 large yellow onion, sliced
4 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

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.

  • 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.

INSTANT POT® YANKEE POT ROAST



Instant Pot® Yankee Pot Roast image

This kind of pressure cooking turns complex weekend-only dishes into everyday fare. For this Instant Pot® recipe, I adapted our recipe for classic Yankee pot roast, using baby carrots and frozen pearl onions to cut down on prep time. Coating the roast with seasoned flour before browning adds flavor and helps thicken the sauce--an important step in a sealed system where water can't evaporate. Spoon the sauce over the beef and vegetables alongside mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or rice.

Time 1h50m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (3 1/2) pound boneless beef chuck roast
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 cup beef stock, divided
¾ cup Merlot wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 bay leaf
aluminum foil
2 cups baby carrots
2 cups frozen pearl onions
3 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pat chuck roast dry with a paper towel. Stir together flour, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle flour mixture all over the roast, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks to the meat.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil. Add roast to the hot oil and cook, without turning, until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn roast to brown each side, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer roast to a plate.
  • Add onion, garlic, and minced rosemary to the pot; cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes. Add beef stock, wine, and tomato paste and simmer while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return roast to the pot along with bay leaf.
  • Close and lock the lid, select Meat/Stew function, and set timer for 40 minutes.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer roast to a plate and tent with aluminum foil for 15 minutes.
  • Add carrots, pearl onions, and celery to the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 4 minutes. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Slice roast against the grain, or use 2 forks to pull meat into chunks. Transfer roast, vegetables, and sauce to a serving platter. Discard bay leaf and garnish with rosemary sprigs.
