POT ROAST WITH ONION SOUP RECIPES

Steps:

• Add butter and oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTÉ function.
• When butter is melted, add onion, brown sugar, thyme, garlic and bay leaf to the pot.
• Cook and stir for 10-15 minutes until onions have cooked down by half and have a pasta-like consistency.
• Add brandy to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Continue to cook and stir until alcohol has cooked off, then add red wine and warmed broth to the pot and stir.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL , then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 8 minutes.
• When the time is up, quick-release the remaining pressure. Remove and discard thyme stems and bay leaf. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Ladle the soup into crocks, place a slice of bread on each crock and a slice of cheese on each piece of bread. Sprinkle with paprika.
• Put crocks on a baking sheet lined with foil and set under the broiler until the top begins to bubble and brown, 5-7 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut the beef in half crosswise (for quicker cooking), then season with salt and pepper. On a 6 quart Instant Pot®, select the Saute setting. Heat the oil. Add the beef (in batches, if needed) and cook for 15 minutes or until well browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot. Add the wine and cook, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Press Cancel.
• Layer the onions, carrots, potatoes, thyme and beef in the Instant Pot®. Spoon the soup over the beef (the order is important, so don't stir until after the cooking is done).
• Lock the lid and close the pressure release valve. Pressure cook on High pressure, setting the timer to 45 minutes (timer will begin counting down once pressure is reached- it takes about 10 minutes). When done, press Cancel and use the quick release method to release the pressure.
• Remove the beef to a serving plate, cover and keep warm. Select the Saute setting and cook the vegetables and gravy for 10 minutes or until the gravy is slightly thickened. Remove and discard the thyme. Season to taste. Slice the beef and serve with the vegetables and gravy.
