I would say that I am curious, vivacious, gregarious, sometimes funny, intelligent, easy going, very passionate about the things I love, caring, thoughtful, and kind. Maybe that is a little over the top, but I think you can count on me to be very honest. LOL

Perfect Pressure Cooker Pot Roast



Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 Tablespoon crushed garlic
  • Worcestershire Sauce 
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry Italian salad dressing mix
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry Ranch-style dressing mix
  • 1 (1.2 ounce) package brown gravy mix
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth

Directions


  1. Heat oil in the pressure cooker over medium-high heat with the lid open. Brown the roast on all sides in the hot oil. Worcestershire Sauce is poured over the top of the roast while browning. 
  2. In a small cup or bowl, mix together the Italian salad dressing mix, Ranch dressing mix, and gravy mix. Sprinkle them evenly over the roast. Pour in the beef broth, add the chopped onion, and crushed garlic.
  3. Seal and lock pressure cooker, and cook over high heat to build pressure until the indicator sounds (mine whistles). Turn heat down to medium, and cook for 45 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Run under cold water to help release the pressure before unsealing the lid. You can use the juices as an au jus, or thicken with flour or cornstarch to make a delicious gravy.
  4. I serve this with mashed potatoes and cooked carrots…family loves it!
