Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 medium Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Select the sauté function on your pressure cooker. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering.

Step 3

Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 4

Add chopped onion to the pressure cooker and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in Worcestershire sauce.

Step 6

Return the beef roast to the pressure cooker. Add carrots, potatoes, thyme, and rosemary around the roast.

Step 7

Lock the lid and set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 50 minutes.

Step 8

Allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.

Step 9

Carefully remove the roast and vegetables from the pot and transfer to a serving platter. Cover to keep warm.

Step 10

Turn the pressure cooker to the sauté function and bring the liquid to a simmer.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering liquid to thicken it into a gravy, cooking for 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Serve the pot roast and vegetables with the gravy drizzled on top. Enjoy!
