Ingredients

• ▢ 3 ½ – 4 pound chuck roast
• ▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ▢ 1 onion (thinly sliced)
• ▢ 6 cloves garlic (minced)
• ▢ 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes (whole)
• ▢ 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• ▢ 1/2 cup dry red wine
• ▢ 2 ½ cups beef broth
• ▢ 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• ▢ 1 16-oz bag baby carrots (or 4 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks)

For the dry rub:

• ▢ 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• ▢ 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• ▢ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢ 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• ▢ 1 teaspoon black pepper
• ▢ 1 teaspoon onion powder

For the gravy:

• ▢ ¼ cup cornstarch (whisked together with ½ cup cold water)

To finish:

• ▢ Fresh chopped parsley (to garnish)
• ▢ Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

• Trim excess fat off the beef. Cut into 3-4 large chunks.
• Combine the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl, then coat the beef chunks with the rub.
• Turn the Instant Pot to SAUTE and add oil. Once hot, add beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-10 minutes. (Depending on the size of your IP, you may need to work in batches, so you don’t overcrowd the pot.) Set beef aside on a plate.
• Add the onions to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds longer. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the red wine, broth, and Worcestershire sauce and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.
• Return the beef to the pot, then top with the potatoes. Don’t stir.
• Place lid on pot and set to seal. Cook on manual HIGH pressure for 45 minutes. Once the time is up, quick release the pressure (this takes about 5 minutes).
• Add carrots. Place lid on pot and set to seal. Cook on manual HIGH pressure for 4 minutes. Once the time is up, quick release the pressure.
• Remove beef and veggies from Instant Pot and arrange on a serving platter. Add the cornstarch slurry to the liquid left in the Instant Pot. Press SAUTE and cook for 2-3 minutes, until thickened.

Notes

• If you don’t like potatoes or carrots with your pot roast, feel free to leave them out.
• If you don’t have red wine for the recipe, you can leave it out entirely. Replace it with 1/2 cup of extra beef broth to ensure there is enough cooking liquid.
