- Garlic (minced)
- Beef broth
- Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Potatoes (whole or halved)
- Carrots (cut into chunks)
Instructions

- Remove the beef from the pot and sauté the diced onions and minced garlic in the same pot until softened.
- Deglaze the pot with beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.
- Return the beef to the pot and cook on high pressure for 60-65 minutes.
- After the cooking time, release the pressure naturally and add the potatoes and carrots on top of the roast.
- Cook the vegetables under pressure for another 5 minutes.
- Serve the roast and vegetables with the flavorful gravy.
Notes
- Feel free to add other root vegetables like parsnips or turnips for added flavor.
- You can cook frozen beef roast, but be sure to add a few extra minutes of cooking time.
- For a spicy kick, try adding chili powder or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.
- To thicken the gravy, you can reduce it by using the sauté function, or add a cornstarch slurry.
