Ingredients

• 3 pounds Chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 medium Carrots
• 2 stalks Celery stalks
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Beer (dark ale or stout)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Bay leaves
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
• 4 medium Potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 2

Set your pressure cooker to the sauté function and heat the olive oil. Once hot, sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and chop the onion into wedges. Peel and cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces. Chop the celery stalks into 2-inch pieces, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In the same pressure cooker, add the onion, carrot, and celery, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth, beer, and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze and lift any browned bits.

Step 6

Return the seared chuck roast to the pressure cooker. Add the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

Step 7

Scrub and quarter the potatoes, leaving the skin on. Arrange the potato pieces around the roast in the pressure cooker.

Step 8

Lock the lid on the pressure cooker and set it to high pressure for 60 minutes. Once done, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes before performing a quick release for any remaining pressure.

Step 9

Carefully remove the lid. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and thyme stems from the pot.

Step 10

Slice the roast into thick pieces and serve with the vegetables and cooking liquid as gravy.
