INSTANT POT® POT ROAST

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

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.

• 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.

SAVORY POT ROAST A LA PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Coat roast with SeasonAll.
• In a non-stick pan (I use my pressure cooker base for this), brown meat in olive oil, on high, on all sides to sear in juices.
• Add carrots, celery and onions when meat is nearly browned.
• Add water and Worcestershire sauce.
• Place potato halves on top of roast and add pepper, beef bouillon powder and bay leaves.
• Lock pressure cooker lid in place and bring to pressure over medium-high heat.
• Adjust heat to stabilize pressure at about medium pressure.
• Cook for one hour.
• Release pressure naturally - don't use quick release.
• As all pressure cookers are different, test meat and fork the potatoes to make sure they are done.
• If not, add water, if necessary, and return to pressure.
• When done, release pressure and serve.
