Instructions
- Select Sauté and add the olive oil to the inner pot. Season the roast with the kosher salt and pepper.
- Transfer the roast to the pot and sauté until lightly browned, about 2–3 minutes per side, using tongs to turn the roast periodically. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the onion, garlic, and thyme to the pot, and sauté for an additional 3 minutes. Add the beef broth and tomato paste. Using a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients well and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Transfer the roast back to the pot. Add the carrots, potatoes, and bay leaf.
- Cover, lock the lid, and flip the steam release handle to the sealing position. Select Pressure Cook (High) and set the cook time for 50 minutes. When the cook time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally (about 20 minutes).
- Open the lid, discard the bay leaf, and transfer the roast and vegetables to a large serving platter. Serve warm.

This recipe turned out perfect. The roast was tender and looked just like the picture! I was a little nervous about using the thyme but it added great flavor!
Turned out great. Just make sure you have all your ingredients ready before you start, it goes quick once you start
Recipe was precise but definitley have everything ready, if moves fast! So delicious and so easy!
Made with 1.25 lb cut up unpeeled red potatoes, 2 cups baby carrots, 1 cup small dice Vidalia onion, 14.5 oz Muir Glen diced fire-roasted tomatoes, and 1 cup cider. No garlic or bay leaf. Rave reviews! Definite keeper!
Easy and fast! Some additions to this wonderful recipe- I used vegetable stock and a packet of dry onion soup mix to that stock for extra flavor. With or without ~ it was easy and so good! Family loved it!
This was my first IP meal and it was scrumptious. The roast (3lb chuck) came out moist and tender. The potatoes and carrots were also delicious. My first meal was a sucess!
I made this and it turned out delicious. I omitted the carrots, potatos and bay leaf. Also I did not wait the 20 minutes to release the pressure naturally, I only waited about 5 because my husband was starving. I wonder if waiting the whole 20 minutes makes the beef more tender. Anyway, I was pleased with my roast. 🙂
Very easy receipe to follow. I also added 1 onion soup packet for flavor and also tablespoon of worschshire sauce.
Super easy! Used some cheap meat and it turned out great. Definitely recommend this recipe.
good basic recipe but I have a …picky family- they didn’t like the veggies the first time I followed the recipe (to mushy, they prefer firm potatoes and carrots)
My changes…
own blend of spices,(grind my own blend of peppers, dried garlic onion and other spices)
added sliced celery(3 stalks) to onions, and cooked 2 whole carrots for flavor(removed later, pureed and added back to liquid for flavor)
i added a can of french onion soup to beef broth….
cooked the meat(over 3lbs) for 75 mins Qiick released removed and let stand…..
cut potatoes and added baby carrots to a bowl with some of the liquid from pot to thoroughly coat veggies….
sliced meat, added meat back to pot a gave a good stir and put veggies in on top of meat…. pressure cook for 5 mins and released pressure immediately when time was up..I’ve also added other veggies (frozen or fresh green beans, asparagus, or brussel sprouts with the carrots and potatoes depending on mood)
finishing…… scoop out veggies place in one dish, meat in another, reduce liquids in pot on sautee or make gravy OR just let everyone have at it stick a large ladle by the pot and yell dinner is ready
Make the recipe your own depending on your taste, like mushrooms, toss some in, for a little richness a little less beef broth and poor in some of your favorite red wine have fun with a great basic recipe.
This turned out really great , with a few little tweeks of my own but the flavor of the meat & tenderness was awesome ! i used fresh garlic an fresh rosemary along with some old bay 🙂 Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Made it with a picahna sirloin roast that is not as fatty as a chuck. Did not like the taste of the bay leaf and didnt put garlic. Came out ok
This recipe made a 3lb pot roast fall apart by a fork. So delicious, highly recommend
I was wondering, could I use a Pork roast instead of a Beef roast???
Hi Richard,
The recipe creator would have a better answer.
If you were to substitute beef for pork, you may want to use chicken broth as the beef broth may be overpowering.
First Dish in the insta-pot, turned out great!! Next time I’ll cut the carrots and potatoes in larger pieces. Used a boneless “7 bone” roast.
Tasted great but the roast turn out dry. I will recommend cooking it for less amount if time
Easy and delicious!!!!
I think by far this it the best thing i ever made. I used a 2-1/2 pound chusk roast. It fell apart taking it out of the pot. The meat was a little on the dry side so i put it back into the jucies. I just put potatoes and onion in it. I vaccum bag it into serving sizes and freezed them. Then when i need a meal, i put the vaccum bag in a pot of boiling water for 10 min. and served it. It taste just like it came out of the pot. Im making it again tonight for my girlfriend. I hope it be just as good
Great meal!! Takes 30mins to get to pressure and i took the cooking time down to 47min, 50 was to long.
Came out great and it was really easy!
Made this on New Years day. Was very easy to make. Made a couple changes added a packet of pot roast mix, and some fresh thyme. I didn’t add the bay leaf. Came out very tasty. The veggies were a little on the soft side. The roast was very good a little dry but with the drippings for gravy yummy. I will make this again but will reduce the cooking time a little.
What if i have a 5lb roast? Would i keep it in longer than what the recipe calls for?
Very tasty, however i would not call this for a crowd due to lack of vegetables. I would double the onion and cut them larger, double potatoes, and triple carrots.
The vegetables were pretty much mush after pressure cooking for 50 minutes.
