How to Make Beef Pot Roast

  1. Season a 3-4 lb beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in your pressure cooker on the sauté function. Brown the roast thoroughly on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Add 1 large chopped onion to the pot and cook for 2 minutes, until softened.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of beef broth.
  5. Secure the pressure cooker lid and set to high pressure for 60 minutes, or until the pressure indicator jiggles.
  6. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes, then carefully quick release any remaining pressure.
  7. Remove the roast from the pressure cooker and set aside to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup of cold water until smooth.
  9. Carefully pour the flour slurry into the pressure cooker. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
