What is Pot Roast?

Pot roast is more of a method than a specific cut of meat. To make information technology, sear a large cut of beefiness until browned on all sides, and then cook it with aromatics like herbs, onions, carrots, and goop until it's melt-in-your-mouth tender. Yous can make this in a Dutch oven on the stove-top, in the oven, in a slow cooker, and a force per unit area cooker. In this recipe, we are using a pressure level cooker (specifically, our Instant Pot) to make the pot roast. A force per unit area cooker takes the cooking time down dramatically.

What Are the Best Cuts of Meat to Use?

The all-time cuts of beef for pot roast are tougher cuts of meat similar chuck, brisket, and round.

Traditionally, the beef cooks at a low temperature for a long fourth dimension. It's because of this that tougher cuts of beef work so well. When I say tougher cuts of meat, I'm talking about the leaner cuts with lots of connective tissue.

How Long Does information technology Take to Melt Pot Roast in a Pressure level Cooker (Instant Pot)?

The time information technology takes to cook pot roast in an Instant Pot will vary depending on how large your piece of meat is.

As a full general rule, when cooking beef roasts in a pressure cooker, presume 20 minutes of cook fourth dimension for every pound of meat.

Yous must understand that the fourth dimension shown above is the actual cooking time, not the full time the recipe will have. For the total time needed, consider the time recommended to bring the beef to room temperature (more on that beneath), searing time, and the times required to release pressure built upwards inside the pressure cooker.

For a 3-pound piece of beef, the total time required volition be about 2 hours and 30 minutes. This includes the time to bring the beef to room temperature (more on that below), searing time, and the cook time required inside the pressure level cooker.

I know ii hours and 30 minutes might seem like a long time, just for ultra-tender and juicy beefiness, we demand all of it.

The peachy news is that a force per unit area cooker makes much quicker work of pot roast compared to a slow cooker, oven, or when it is cooked on the stove-top.

Now, I mentioned there was extra fourth dimension for bringing the beefiness to room temperature. Afterwards testing this pot roast recipe in our kitchen, we found that if you start with beefiness direct out of the refrigerator, the roast doesn't become as tender every bit when yous give the beef some time out of the refrigerator and then that it comes upwardly to room temperature before cooking information technology.

For a three-pound roast, we found that leaving it on the counter for 1 hr was perfect. This extra time has another benefit, information technology gives united states a risk to season the meat.

Right after taking the beefiness out of the refrigerator, we season it liberally with salt, which ways that as the beef sits, the common salt has a chance to seep into the meat, making information technology extra tasty when cooked.

Can I Use Frozen Beefiness?

You might be wondering if you can utilize frozen beef for pot roast. Technically, the reply is yes, the cook fourth dimension volition just exist longer (20 to 30 minutes longer).

That said, for the best results, we highly recommend post-obit our method which calls for thawed beefiness that's seasoned with salt and been left on the counter long enough to accept the chill off.

This actress fourth dimension creates the most flavorful, melt-in-your-rima oris pot roast. Using thawed beefiness as well allows usa to brown the outside of the meat earlier braising it, which adds a lot of actress flavor to dish.

How to Brand Pot Roast in a Pressure Cooker (Instant Pot)

In our photos, we are using a 6-quart Instant Pot, which is an electric pressure cooker.

Other brands make electric pressure cookers, likewise. If you own one of them, you should be able to use this recipe without any issues (just make sure y'all read the user manual commencement).

Step i, Flavor the beef and bring information technology to room temperature. I've already touched on this above, but I'll rapidly practise information technology again, here.

After testing, nosotros found that when we left the beef out on the counter to come closer to room temperature before cooking information technology, the pot roast was much more tender at the end of the cooking fourth dimension.

I also dear that the beef gets a chance to sit with the salt for well-nigh an hour before cooking. In this time, the salt seeps into the meat and helps to flavour and tenderize it.

Stride 2, Brown the beef on all sides. By browning the beef on all sides earlier cooking at high force per unit area, we add color to the meat and add lots of season to the pot.

For a one-pot repast, brown the beef correct in the pressure level cooker using the "Saute" function. If your pressure level cooker does non have this function, but brown the beef in a heavy pan on the stove.

After browning, I remove the beef then I can movement on to the veggies.

Step three, Lightly brown vegetables. For extra flavor, we add onions, carrots, and celery to our pot roast, but I like to cook them in the bottom of the pot a fleck commencement.

This step builds even more flavor into the dish, which makes the braising liquid taste incredible. When they start to aroma sweet and get light brown in places, I take them out and motility on to making the braising liquid.

Footstep 4, Deglaze the pot and place the beef and vegetables back in. By deglaze, I mean to add liquid and scrape the lesser of the pot until information technology is make clean.

The steps where we dark-brown the beef and vegetables leave bits stuck to the bottom. By deglazing, we lift all that season stuck to the lesser of the pan.

When the bottom of the pot is make clean, I place the beefiness, vegetables, and more aromatics into the force per unit area cooker.

Step 5, Pressure cook until the beef is tender. Equally I mentioned in a higher place, the cooking time will vary depending on the size of beefiness you are cooking.

In general, you will need xx minutes of cooking time at pressure for every pound of meat. So, a three-pound roast takes 60 minutes at high pressure before it is tender.

You can encounter from our photos that we added baby potatoes to the pot, too. These go very soft and can be served whole or mashed into flavorful mashed potatoes.

Alternatively, you can leave them out and roast potatoes in the oven for a more than well-baked consequence. This is my preferred method. The beefiness and carrots are so tender that adding a crisp, roasted potato side by side to them is a nice change in texture.

Step half dozen, Naturally release the pressure cooker for 10 minutes and serve. Past naturally release, I mean that when the cooking time is up, I leave the pressure cooker lonely and let it to slowly release some of the pressure built upwardly inside the pot.

Afterwards about x minutes, I apply the quick-release button to release the remaining pressure level before opening the lid. If you are new to the Instant Pot or electric pressure cooking, I recommend reading the user's manual earlier following our recipe.

Later cooking, the beefiness volition be tender, the onions melt into the gravy, and the carrots turn silky soft. The celery becomes tender, too, but I unremarkably don't serve them with the beef since by the terminate of the cooking time they accept usually given up all their flavor to the gravy.

If you added potatoes, you can serve them alongside the beefiness or brew them.

Every bit an optional pace, you can make a gravy with the liquid left in the pot. I have provided a method in the recipe beneath. You can also just spoon the liquid in the pot over the beefiness when serving. It's completely up to y'all.

How to Tell When it is Washed

Pot roast is done when it's tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

The beefiness should fall apart on you, which ways that the pressure cooker has done its job in breaking down all the connective tissue in the beefiness. You can encounter what this looks like in the photograph and video above.

What if my pot roast is tough?

If after cooking the pot roast, it is however tough, all you lot need to do is cook it longer. If the beef is notwithstanding tough, it just needs more than time for the braise to do it's magic and break down the connective tissues in the beef.

Since we are using a pressure cooker, if after our suggested cook time, the beef is not every bit tender as you'd similar, you will demand to place the lid dorsum onto the pot, seal information technology, and then melt at loftier pressure for additional time (an boosted 10 to 20 minutes is my suggestion).
