Equipment
Ingredients
- 2.5 lb roast
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 envelope brown gravy mix
- 2 envelopes onion soup mix
- 6 potatoes quartered
- 1 large onion cut in to chunks
- 1 lb carrots peeled and cut in to chunks
- 2 Tablespoons fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to saute. Add olive oil to the pot and wait for it to heat up. Cut the roast into 3-4 smaller pieces and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place one piece of the roast in the pot at a time, searing on all sides. When all the meat has been seared, place all pieces in a single layer in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
- Whisk the brown gravy mix and onion soup mix packets in to the beef broth and pour mixture over the meat in the Instant Pot.
- Add the potatoes on top of the meat, followed by the carrots and then the onion to the Instant Pot.
- Close the lid, set the valve to seal and cook on manual for 35 minutes. When the time is up let the Instant Pot do a natural release for 10 minutes and then quick release the rest of the pressure.Spoon the onion, carrots, and potatoes on the a serving platter and top with the roast.
- Use remaining liquid in the Instant Pot to pour over the roast, if desired. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
What to Serve With Pot Roast
- Crusty bread or garlic bread. You will want something to mop up the gravy. My Three Cheese Garlic Bread is a favorite around here.
- Mashed potatoes. If you skip the potatoes in the pot, Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes are the natural partner for all that gravy.
- A simple green salad. Something crisp and lemony cuts through the richness of the beef.
- Steamed green beans or broccoli. An easy green vegetable rounds out the plate without adding another pot to wash.
