Pressure-Cooker Pot Roast image

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).

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken stock, homemade or store-bought
1 pound carrots, cut into thick rounds

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 dried bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

Add beef and cook until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes; transfer to a plate. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons fat (or add enough oil to equal 2 tablespoons). Add garlic and flour, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in stock, carrots, olives, dates, thyme, bay leaf, cumin seeds, orange zest and juice, and 1 teaspoon salt. Return beef along with any accumulated juices to pressure cooker.
  • Stovetop: Secure lid. Bring to high pressure over medium-high heat; reduce heat to maintain pressure and cook for 60 minutes. Remove from heat, quickly release pressure, then remove lid.Electric: Secure lid. Manually set cooker to 90 minutes and let it come to pressure. Once time is complete, turn off, quickly release pressure, then remove lid.
  • Let beef stand in liquid 10 minutes. Skim any fat from surface. Transfer beef to a serving platter. (Discard bay leaf.) Spoon sauce over and around beef and serve.

I used a different cut of beef for this pot roast and it turned out great. The meat was still very tender and flavorful.
