Ingredients

  • 3-3 1/2 pound beef chuck roast
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt
  • 2 cups beef bone broth
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1-2 stalks celery
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 teaspoons Thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 tablespoon basil leaves
  • 1 pound white onions

Adding Italian herbs and tomatoes to a basic pot roast recipe enhances the flavors. Pressure cooking makes for fast preparation and seals in all the juices. The result is a super tender pot roast enhanced with aromatics.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. With a sharp knife cut small slits about 3/4 inch deep in the roast and insert garlic slices, pushing down with your finger.
  2. Set your Instant Pot to the Sauté setting. When hot, heat butter and brown roast on all sides.
  3. Pour in beef bone broth, coconut aminos, tomato paste, celery, bay leaf, thyme, oregano, and basil and seal the lid.
  4. Bring the Instant Pot up to full pressure by using Manual and adjusting to high pressure. Cook for 45 minutes. When time is up, use the quick-release method to lower the pressure.
  5. Add onions, carrots, and parsnips, and seal the lid.
  6. Bring the cooker up to full pressure again and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Use the quick-release method again and transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving platter. Enjoy!

Notes

You can substitute 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasonings for the thyme, oregano, and basil.
