Steps:
- Trim all fat from the chuck roast steak, then sprinkle salt on each side (about ½ teaspoon).
- Turn the Instant Pot, set it to Sauté and wait until it heats up. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and sear meat on both sides. Remove roast from the pot.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pot and add the onions and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until fragrant, then deglaze with broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce or coconut aminos. Get all those brown bits up from the bottom of the pot to flavour your meat and veggies and make a killer gravy!
- Add the beef back to the pot, along with potatoes. Place carrots in a steamer basket on top of the meat and potatoes. Lock the lid and set for HIGH pressure for 60 minutes.
- After cook time, release the pressure naturally, it should take about 15 minutes. If you are hangry or impatient, you could switch it over to quick release anytime after this point and you will be good.
- Remove the beef roast and the veggies to a casserole dish. Enjoy as is or make a quick gravy by removing 1/2 cup of the stock and mixing it with 1 tablespoon of your thickener. Add this slurry back to the Instant Pot and set the IP to Sauté again. Simmer until the gravy thickens to your liking, stirring frequently. Taste for salt and pepper and season as needed. You might also like to add a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice.

Steps:
- Turn on your instant pot and set it to "saute". In a small bowl stir together salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub mixture all over the roast to coat all sides.
- Drizzle oil in instant pot, wait about 30 seconds, then use tongs to place roast in the pot. Do not move it for 3-4 minutes until well-seared and browned. Use tongs to turn the roast onto another side for 3-4 minutes, repeating until all sides are browned.
- Switch instant pot to "pressure cook" on high and set to 60-80 minutes (60 for a 3 pound roast, 80 for a 5 pound roast. see notes if using baby carrots). Add potatoes, onions, and carrots to pot (just arrange them around the roast) and pour beef broth and worcestershire sauce over everything. Place lid on the pot and turn to locked position. Make sure the vent is set to the sealed position.
- When the cooking time is up, do a natural release for 10 minutes (don't touch anything on the pot, just let it de-pressurize on it's own for 10 minutes). After 10 minutes, turn vent to the venting release position and allow all of the steam to vent and the float valve to drop down before removing the lid.
- Transfer the roast, potatoes, onions, and carrots to a platter and shred the roast with 2 forks into chunks. Use a handheld strainer to scoop out bits from the broth in the pot. Set instant pot to "soup" setting. Whisk together the water and corn starch. Once broth is boiling, stir in corn starch mixture until the gravy thickens. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Serve gravy poured over roast and veggies and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.

Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, or kitchen shears, trim as much fat/fatty deposits from your roast. Place the prepped meat on a clean cutting board, and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
- To a small mixing bowl add the rosemary, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder. Stir together to evenly combine.
- Liberally season both sides of the roast with salt & pepper. Then pour the seasoning mix out over it, rubbing & pressing it in to all sides to evenly coat.
- Press the 'SAUTE' button and adjust it to the more setting. When the pot says 'hot' add the oil to the liner.
- Add the prepared roast to the pot, and allow it to sear- about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the roast using sturdy tongs, and let the other side sear another 2-3 minutes. Remove the roast to a waiting plate. Set aside.
- Hit the 'CANCEL' button. Then press the 'SAUTE' button again, this time leaving it on the normal setting.
- Add the onions and garlic to the pot, and let them cook for 2-3 minutes- just until tender.
- Add the tomato paste, wine, broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot. Stir the mixture together with a sturdy spoon, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot as you do.
- Return the roast to the pot, and then add the potatoes and carrots on top. Do not stir, and it's ok if only the meat is submerged- this is what you want.
- Add the lid to the pot, turning to close, and set the vent valve to the sealed position. Pressure cook on HIGH for 35 minutes. Once done- allow the pot to naturally release for 10 full minutes. Carefully open the vent valve, and allow the rest of the trapped steam to completely release. Press CANCEL to turn off the pot.
- Carefully scoop out the vegetables and transfer them to a serving dish/platter. Loosely cover the dish with foil to keep the veggies warm, but prevent them from continuing to cook. Set aside.
- Carefully remove the beef to a waiting platter. Let is rest for 5-10 minutes, undisturbed.
- Using two forks, or meat claws, pull the beef apart into bite sized chunks/pieces.
- Serve the shredded beef roast with the vegetables and enjoy!

SUNDAY POT ROAST WITH CARROTS AND POTATOES
Our IP Version of CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE'S Sunday Pot Roast with Carrots and Potatoes. Sunday pot roast was available at the popular restaurant at the time we were testing recipes. But Cracker Barrel changes its menus fairly frequently, so what's on tap today may not be available six months from now. In any event, we found this version to be pure comfort food, a cross between a stew and a pot roast. It might be exactly what you're looking for if you miss the Sunday offering - or if you want it on any other day of the week. For the IP, the recipe takes place in two steps under pressure in a bid to keep the vegetables from turning to mush. It's a callback to an older way of preparing dinner, when time was less at a premium.

- Add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently for 1 minute, just until aromatic. Pour in the broth and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the insert (turning the pieces of beef this way and that). Stir in the parsley, oregano, sage, and allspice. Turn off the SAUTÉ function and lock the lid onto the cooker.
- MAX Model: Set for PRESSURE COOK on MAX. Set the time for 40 minutes with the KEEP WARM setting off. Other Instant Pot Models: Set for PRESSURE COOK on HIGH pressure. Set the time for 45 minutes with the KEEP WARM setting off.

- Press SAUTÉ, set it for MEDIUM, NORMAL, OR CUSTOM 300°F for set the time for 9 minutes.

Turn off the SAUTÉ function and use hot pads or silicone baking mitts to transfer the (hot!) insert to a nearby wire rack to stop the cooking. Serve in bowls with lots of sauce and vegetables around the meat.
