Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrot, diced
• 2 medium celery stalks, diced
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and season it generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 2

Set your pressure cooker to the 'Sauté' mode. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up.

Step 3

Sear the beef in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pressure cooker and place it on a plate.

Step 4

In the same pressure cooker, add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Deglaze the pot by adding the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), dried oregano, dried thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Return the seared beef to the pressure cooker, nestling it into the liquid and vegetables.

Step 9

Seal the pressure cooker lid and set it to 'Pressure Cook' on high for 45 minutes.

Step 10

Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then carefully do a quick release to remove any remaining pressure.

Step 11

Open the lid and remove the beef. Let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding or slicing.

Step 12

While the beef rests, switch the pressure cooker back to 'Sauté' mode and simmer the sauce for 5-10 minutes to thicken, if desired.

Step 13

Serve the beef topped with the sauce and garnish with fresh parsley. Pair with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a complete meal.
