Ingredients

3 pounds boneless chuck roast
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup beef broth or stock
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Cornstarch optional

Instructions

Cut the chuck roast into 4 pieces.
Place roast pieces in Instant Pot inner pot. I use a 6 quart.
Sprinkle roast with salt.
In a small bowl, stir together broth, vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
Pour the vinegar mixture on top of the roast.
Close and lock the lid. Be sure that the pressure release valve is set to sealing.
Press manual high pressure and adjust the time to 60 minutes.
When the cooking time has ended, let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes.
Turn the pressure release valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.
Unlock the lid, and remove the meat to a platter.
Use two forks to carefully shred the meat.
Optional: To thicken the sauce, mix 2-4 tablespoons of cornstarch with an equal amount of beef broth in a small dish.
Press cancel and then press sauté.
Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring regularly, until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the gravy over the shredded meat.

Notes

Chuck roast: Chuck roast works well because the fat helps to keep the meat tender as it cooks.
Brown sugar: The sauce is lightly sweet, so feel free to adjust the sugar according to your taste.
