Instructions
- Season the roast on all sides with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Set instant pot to sauté, coat the bottom of the pot with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the roast and sear on all sides. Remove the roast and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil with the onion, celery and garlic. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender.
- Pour the red wine in the pot to deglaze the bottom, stir until all the bits from the bottom have come off, about 3 to 4 minutes. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot so there are no burned bits stuck to the bottom, which can give you the burn notice.
- Add the roast, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, potatoes and carrots to the pot. You may need to move the vegetables around a little to get them to fit with the roast.
- Place the lid on the pot and lock it in place. Make sure the vent is sealed. Switch the instant pot to pressure cook, high and set for 60 minutes.
- Let the instant pot naturally release the pressure for 10 to 15 minutes, after cooking. Then do a quick release for any remaining pressure. (Just turn the valve on top.)
- Whisk to combine the the cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
- Turn the instant pot to sauté, pour the cornstarch slurry into the pot and stir until blended. Stirring often, sauté for 2 to 4 minutes, until the gravy has thickened.
- Serve warm with your favorite crusty bread!

Notes
Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Reheat: Reheat a single serving easily in the microwave. For larger servings, try reheating in a large pot on the stovetop. Either way, you may need to add a little broth to thin out the gravy.
Freeze: Transfer cooled leftovers to an airtight container, or freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. For best results, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Searing: When searing the roast, try not to move it for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. This helps to get a nice brown crust on the outside and seal in flavor.
Deglazing: Make sure to deglaze the bottom of the instant pot and scrape up any cooked bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. This will keep you from getting the burn notice.
Roast Size: We cooked a 3-pound chuck roast. If you cook a larger roast you’ll need to adjust the time. Also, the bigger the roast, the less vegetables you can add.
Potatoes: We used baby Dutch yellow potatoes, so we didn’t have to peel or cut them. You can also use red potatoes cut in half, or even a russet potato.
Vegetable Size: We recommend leaving the vegetables in larger pieces so they hold their shape while cooking.
