  • 1/2 tbsp salt

A dry rub can transform any piece of bland protein into the main event at your dinner party or potluck. But we think this spiced coffee roast beef recipe will steal the show for sure. The ground coffee, smoked paprika and chili powder all lend their smokey aroma to the beef, infusing themselves into the fibers of the meat.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Mix Dry Rub ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Rub mixture all over beef.
  2. Select SAUTÉ, HIGH. Select START. Add olive oil to inner pot.
  3. When the oil is hot, add and sauté onions for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 2 more minutes.
  5. Add vinegar, orange zest, orange juice, brewed coffee, beef stock, and beef to the pot.
  6. Press CANCEL. Secure lid for pressure cooking.
  7. Select PRESSURE COOK, HIGH for 50 minutes (00:50). Select START.
  8. Open lid and carefully take out the beef. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice.
  9. Place vegetables from the pot onto a plate, lay beef slices on top. Ladle some of the sauce over beef and vegetables.

Notes

TIP: Cut beef into chunks before cooking for a thoroughly cooked,pull-apart pot roast.
