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.

FANCY YANKEE POT ROAST



FANCY YANKEE POT ROAST image

Categories     Beef

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup pure olive oil
3 onions, sliced
One 3- to 4-pound top or bottom round beef roast
Flour for dredging
8 slender carrots, or fatter ones cut in half or quartered
3 ribs celery, cut in half
2 1/2 cups beef broth
1 1/2 cups hearty red wine
5 or 6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 rounded teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
2 rounded tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy flameproof casserole, preferably cast iron, over medium heat, heat the olive oil and saute the onions until golden. Thoroughly dredge the beef in the flour, covering all the surfaces. Add to the pan and brown on all sides. The flour may cause the onions to burn slightly. This is good and will add lots of flavor. Add the carrots, celery, beef broth, wine, thyme, black pepper, and salt to taste. Reduce heat, partially cover, and barely simmer for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, turning the beef occasionally. Remove the carrots and celery when they are cooked and reserve. When the beef is falling-apart tende, remove it from the broth. Remove the thyme sprigs. Knead the butter and 2 tablespoons flour together until thoroughly combined. Add the mixture to the broth and stir with a wooden spoon until you have a sauce the consistency of buttermilk. Remove from the heat. To serve, slice the beef and arrange on a platter. Cover with some of the sauce. Put the remaining sauce in a bowl or gravy boat. Arrange the carrots and celery attractively on the beef platter. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if you like. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, rump roast, and bottom round roast are all good choices for pot roast. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before cooking. Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. You can brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat or in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery are all classic pot roast vegetables. You can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
  • Season the pot roast well. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good seasonings for pot roast. You can also add other seasonings, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
  • Cook the pot roast slowly. Pot roast should be cooked slowly over low heat. This allows the meat to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
  • Let the pot roast rest before serving. Once the pot roast is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Yankee pot roast is a classic American comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and tender pot roast that your family and friends will love.
