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:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: For a 3-packet roast, select a chuck roast, rump roast, or top sirloin roast. These cuts are all relatively inexpensive and have a good amount of marbling, which will help them stay moist during cooking.
  • Season the meat well: Before cooking, season the roast generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The best 3-packet roasts include a variety of vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery. This will add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
  • Choose the right cooking method: 3-packet roasts can be cooked in a variety of ways, including in the oven, in a slow cooker, or on the grill. Choose the cooking method that best suits your needs and preferences.
  • Let the roast rest before carving: After cooking, let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Conclusion:

3-packet roasts are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a home-cooked meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and satisfying roast that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a simple and flavorful meal, give 3-packet roast a try. You won't be disappointed!
