Step 4: Add the chunks of roast and give them a quick sear to brown the outside. Work in batches if necessary, and don’t overcrowd the pot as it will steam the meat.

Step 5: Remove the browned chunks of meat and pour in 1 cup of the beef broth. Press cancel.

Step 7: Layer in the sliced onions, browned meat, and sprinkle garlic and rosemary on top.

Step 8: Close and lock the lid. Press manual high pressure and adjust the cooking time to 60 minutes. Be sure that the pressure release valve is set to sealing. It should take about 15-20 minutes to reach pressure.

Step 9: Once the cooking time has ended, let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes, and then turn the pressure release valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.

Step 10: Remove the meat from the pot and shred. Tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Step 11: In a small dish, stir together the remaining broth with the cornstarch. Press cancel and then press sauté.

Step 12: Stir in the cornstarch mixture until well-combined.

Step 13: Cook, stirring regularly, until the gravy has thickened. Serve the gravy over the shredded meat.

Tips

  • Gravy: If you like a lot of gravy with your meat, consider increasing the broth to 1 ½ cups. If you use additional broth, you will need to add more cornstarch to thicken the gravy.
  • Serving suggestions: I like to serve this pot roast over mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up all of the gravy.
  • Sides: Since pot roast can be heavy, I like to add something green on the side. We like steamed green beans or a green salad with this pot roast.

Recipe FAQs

Can I double this recipe?

I’ve doubled this recipe in my 6 quart. If your chuck roast is thick, I recommend cutting it into 5 pieces. Otherwise, I make the recipe with the same cooking time.

Can I use different herbs?

Absolutely! If you’d like to use thyme or a mixture of herbs, you can use whatever herbs you like in place of the dried rosemary.

Do I have to brown the meat?

No, you can skip browning the meat if you’re in a hurry.
