Time 8h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pound rump or chuck roast ((or your favorite boneless beef roast))
1 packet beefy onion soup mix (dry)
1 packet brown gravy mix (dry)
1 packet ranch dressing/seasoning mix (dry)
1 cup beef broth
3 tablespoons corn starch
¼ cup cold water

Steps:

  • Place roast in the slow cooker (I use a 6 quart).
  • In a mixing bowl mix 3 packets with 1 cup beef broth and pour over roast.
  • Cover with the lid and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours.
  • Remove from slow cooker and discard any fat and shred.
  • To thicken gravy, if desired, in a small measuring cup mix 3 tablespoons of corn starch and 1/4 cup of water. Turn the slow cooker to high and pour the slurry in. Stir until combined. Place shredded roast back into the slow cooker and allow to thicken (about 30 minutes).
  • If you want to sear the roast first, turn Instant Pot on Saute. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and coat the bottom. Add in roast and brown on all sides. (Cut roast in half if larger so it will fit nicely into Instant Pot) - Optional
  • Press "Cancel" and pour beef broth into the bottom of the instant pot and remove any browned bits with a spatula (being sure to get under the roast too). I use a 6 Quart (If using a larger IP add the appropriate amount of liquid called for the size IP you are using).
  • Sprinkle all 3 packets over the roast.
  • Place on lid and make sure valve is in sealing position. Press "Manual Pressure" for 90 minutes.
  • Do a "Natural Pressure Release" for 15 minutes and then open the valve to release the remaining pressure manually.
  • Remove the lid and remove the roast to a serving plate.
  • To thicken gravy add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to ¼ cup cold water and stir until dissolved. Pour cornstarch slurry into the Instant Pot and turn to saute. Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Shred or slice roast and return to Instant Pot once the sauce has thickened.
