Ingredients

• 3 pounds Chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 0.5 cups Red wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 medium Carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 3 pieces Fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 pieces Fresh rosemary sprigs

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Set the pressure cooker to the sauté mode and heat the olive oil. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the pressure cooker and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the beef broth, red wine (if using), tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits.

Step 5

Return the roast to the pressure cooker and add the carrots, baby potatoes, thyme, and rosemary. Make sure the vegetables are evenly distributed around the roast.

Step 6

Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set it to high pressure for 60 minutes. Ensure the valve is set to the sealing position.

Step 7

Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10-15 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release to vent any remaining steam.

Step 8

Remove the lid and transfer the roast to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Discard the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Serve the pot roast with the vegetables and spoon some of the cooking liquid over the top for extra flavor.
