This Instant Pot pot roast recipe is a must-try if you're looking for a hearty and flavorful dinner

How To Make Pot Roast In An Instant Pot:

1. Set Instant Pot to ‘saute’ and add oil.

2. Once the oil becomes hot, add the roast and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side. Turn off ‘saute’

3. In a small bowl, combine broth, wine, soy sauce, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the meat.

4. Add vegetables in evenly spaced around the meat, and sprinkle garlic on top.

5. Place lid on Instant Pot with steam valve closed.

6. Switch setting to ‘manual’ and set for 70 minutes on ‘high’ pressure (you can go up to 80 minutes if your roast is a little bigger than 3 pounds, or as little as 60 if it’s under 3 pounds).

7. Do a ‘natural release’ for at least 10 minutes, then a quick release.

8. Remove and plate roast and veggies. Pour juice from cooking over the top as a natural au jus, and serve. Enjoy!

Pro Tip: Want to change things up a bit? Use a mixture of root vegetables (potatoes, radishes, sweet potatoes, turnips, rutabaga, parsnips) to add a variety of flavors without changing the cooking time! Or for a low-carb version, focus more on mushrooms, peppers, and other low-carb veggie goodness!

Tender vegetables and juicy pot roast make this Instant pot meal a satisfying, hearty dinner

  1. Thank you for this recipe, today I will cook it for my family. I really like to collect different unusual recipes since I was a college student, prepare food is my passion! Now I work as a writer and I run my own blog and If you don’t mind I’d like to share your recipe on it.

  2. You need to deglaze IP after sauté. If you don’t, can get “burn” message from not removing the little bits from the bottom.

  3. 4 stars
    The recipe was very easy to prepare. The beef was very tender. The vegetables were too soft at the end of the cook time. Next time will add vegetables half way through the cooking time.
