Tender, flavorful Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast is perfect for weeknight dinners or family gatherings. You'll love the simple, easy, dump and go Instant Pot recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 lb chuck roast, cut into chunks
- ¾ cup beef broth
- 1 dry package ranch dressing
- 1 dry package au jus mix
- 6-8 whole pepperoncini peppers
- ¼ cup liquid from pepperoncini pepper jar
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- ¼ cup cornstarch, optional
Instructions
- Plug in pressure cooker and select "SAUTE." Add olive oil to the bottom of the pot. Add the chunks of chuck roast and saute 5 minutes on each side.
- When all pieces of chuck roast have been browned, remove and set aside.
- While on saute, add in beef broth to the pressure cooker. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up as much of the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Once deglazed, hit the cancel button and add the au just packet, ranch packet, liquid from the pepperonicini pepper jar, the peppers, and butter. Give a quick stir, then return the roast back to the Instant Pot.
- Lock the lid in place and select "HIGH PRESSURE" for a cook time of 50 minutes. If your roast is closer to 4- 4 ½ lbs, add an additional 10-15 minutes of cook time.
- When cook time ends, allow pressure to NATURALLY RELEASE. This means you leave it alone until the silver valve drops. This will usually take about 20 minutes.
- For an optional, thicker gravy, remove the beef from the Instant Pot after it has naturally released pressure. Place on a cutting board and shred beef into desired size pieces.
- While the beef is out of the pot you can make the gravy thicker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup cornstarch with about ¼ cup of the hot liquid from the sauce.
- Turn the Instant Pot on "SAUTE" and allow it to cook and bubble for about 1-2 minutes, until thickened.
- Return the beef to the hot liquid and enjoy.
Notes
- This Instant Pot recipe was created in a 6qt Instant Pot. Prep time does not include the time it takes to come to pressure or naturally release pressure.
- To avoid the dreaded "BURN" notice, deglazing the pot with beef broth is an important step!
- Allowing the roast to naturally release pressure helps keep your beef moist and tender and prevents it from drying out.
