SIMPLE INSTANT POT ROAST RECIPES

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.
