Ingredients

1.5 kg beef chuck roast
4 potatoes, chunked
4 carrots, chunked
1 onion, quartered
2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp tomato paste
4 cloves garlic
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Season the roast and sear it on all sides using the saute function, then set aside.
Saute the onion and garlic, then stir in the tomato paste and Worcestershire.
Add the broth, scraping up the browned bits, and return the roast.

Seal and pressure cook on high for 60 minutes, then natural release for 15 minutes.
Add the potatoes and carrots and pressure cook 5 minutes more.
Rest the roast, thicken the juices into gravy, and serve.

💡 Chef's tip

Sear the roast on saute mode before pressure cooking; the browned crust adds deep, roasted flavor to the whole dish.

Pressure cooking does in under an hour what takes hours in the oven, rapidly breaking down the collagen in chuck roast into gelatin for that signature tenderness.
