A quick and easy Instant Pot pot roast recipe featuring tender beef chuck roast and rustic vegetables, perfect for a comforting meal on busy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, cut into large chunks
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Peel and chop carrots, potatoes, celery, and slice the onion. Mince garlic and measure out seasonings.
  2. Set Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode and add olive oil. Once hot, place the roast in the pot and brown each side for 4-5 minutes until a deep mahogany crust forms. Remove roast and set aside.
  3. Add onions and celery to the pot; stir often until softened and fragrant. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, scraping the pot’s bottom.
  4. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and scrape to loosen any stuck-on bits.
  5. Return the roast to the pot. Add carrots, potatoes, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper around the roast. Press down lightly to fit everything snugly.
  6. Secure the lid and set Instant Pot to ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ on high for 60 minutes. Ensure the valve is sealed.
  7. Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then carefully vent any remaining steam.
  8. Remove bay leaves, transfer roast and veggies to a serving platter. Optionally, set Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ and simmer remaining liquid for a few minutes to thicken into gravy.

Notes

Cut vegetables into larger chunks to prevent mushiness. Sear the meat well for deeper flavor. Use natural pressure release to keep meat tender. Adjust seasoning after cooking. For thicker gravy, reduce cooking liquid by sautéing after pressure cooking. If roast is thicker, add 10-15 minutes to cooking time.
