PRESSURE-COOKER POT ROAST
With an Instant Pot or pressure cooker, the classic Sunday afternoon pot roast can be on the table in under two hours -- without ever turning on your oven. We seasoned this one with North African ingredients -- dates, olives, and oranges -- but remained loyal to the traditional American chuck roast, which, like other inexpensive cuts, braises well. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Pressure Cooker" (Clarkson Potter).

PRESSURE-COOKER POT ROAST WITH VEGETABLE GRAVY
A great way to hide some veggies as they get blended up in the gravy! The carrots lend a great sweetness and balance to the sauce that is not at all overpowering. My husband's new favorite pot roast. If you like your sauce thicker, use a thickener such as arrowroot powder or cornstarch to thicken the sauce in step 5.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast is a great choice for pressure cooking because it's a tough cut that becomes tender when cooked under pressure. Other good options include brisket, short ribs, and pot roast.
- Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef in a little oil before pressure cooking adds flavor and helps to develop a rich gravy.
- Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and color to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
- Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, beefy flavor.
- Don't overcook the beef: Chuck roast is a tough cut of beef, so it needs to be cooked for a long time to become tender. However, overcooking can make the beef dry and tough. Cook the beef for the recommended amount of time, or until it is fall-apart tender.
- Make a gravy: The gravy is the perfect way to add flavor and richness to the dish. To make a gravy, simply whisk together the cooking liquid from the pressure cooker with a little flour or cornstarch. You can also add some herbs, spices, or other seasonings to taste.
Conclusion:
Pressure cooker chuck roast with vegetables and gravy is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The pressure cooker cooks the beef quickly and evenly, and the vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and color to the dish. The gravy is the perfect finishing touch, adding richness and flavor to the dish. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in no time.
