Pressure Cooker Pot Roast

Steps

  1. Pat the beef pieces dry and season them all over with the salt and pepper.
  2. Set the pressure cooker to sauté on high and add the oil.
  3. Brown the beef in two batches, turning once, then move it to a plate.
  4. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it softens a little.
  5. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the broth and scrape the bottom of the pot until no browned bits stick. This prevents a burn warning.
  7. Stir in the Worcestershire, thyme and bay leaf. Return the beef and its juices to the pot.
  8. Lock the lid and set the valve to sealing.
  9. Cook at high pressure. (The pot takes about 10 to 15 minutes to come up to pressure before the countdown starts.)
  10. Let the pressure release naturally.
  11. Turn the valve to venting to release any pressure that remains, then open the lid away from your face.
  12. Add the potatoes and carrots on top of the beef. Don't stir.

  1. Lock the lid, set the valve to sealing and cook at high pressure.
  2. Quick-release the pressure by turning the valve to venting, then open the lid away from your face.
  3. Move the beef and vegetables to a platter. The beef should be fork-tender, well past the safe 145°F (63°C). Throw away the bay leaf.
  4. Set the pot to sauté. Stir the cornstarch and water together, stir it into the liquid and simmer until thickened.
  5. Pull the beef into chunks and serve with the vegetables and gravy.
  6. Cook to 145°F inside (check with a thermometer).
