Ingredients

the pot
·
3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

1/2 cup water

·
1/4 cup soy sauce
·
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

4 tablespoons butter unsalted
For the Veggies:

1 lb mini red potatoes whole or cut in half, I prefer whole as they
keep their shape better

8 oz baby Bella mushrooms whole or halved
·
3 large carrots cut into 1 inch chunks
Cornstarch Slurry:

1/4 cup cornstarch
·
1/3 cup water
Instructions
Brown the Beef:
1. Set Instant Pot to Sauté.
When it reads "Hot" add the 3 tablespoons of canola oil and wait for
the oil to heat up.
2. If need cut the beef in two
and brown it in batches, so it fits in the pot. Cook each piece on EACH side
for full 5 minutes without turning, until its nice golden brown.
3. If needed, add a bit more
oil to the pot when searing the rest of the pieces.
4. Remove browned beef to a
plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
5. Once all the beef has been
browned and set aside its time to deglaze the pot.
6. Add the 1/2 cup of water to
the pot and using a wooden spoon scrape the bits and pieces that stuck to the
bottom and sides of the pot until its cleared.
7. Turn off the sauté mode.
Cooking the Pot Roast:
1. Add the beef back to the
pot.
2. Add the remaining
ingredients, starting with the onion and finishing with the butter.
3. Close the lid and seal the
valve.
4. Cooking: if you have a pot
roast that has been cut into pieces, and the pieces are no more than 2 inches
thick, cook for 75 minutes on High Pressure. If the beef is thicker than 2
inches, mine was 4 inches at center, cook for 100 minutes.
5. Once the Instant Pot beeps,
do a 15 Minute Natural Pressure Release. Release manually the remaining
pressure.
6. Open the lid and check if
the beef is tender enough to shred. If its not, cook for another 15-20 minutes
on HP with a 15 min NPR.
7. Remove beef from the pot and
add it to a large serving deep dish.
8. Place a fine mesh over a
mixing bowl and sieve the cooking liquid from the pot. Add one cup of liquid to
the beef and return the rest to the pot.
9. Shred beef and cover with
aluminum foil, place a towel on top to keep it warm.
Veggies:
1. After you added the sieved
cooking liquid to the pot, add the prepared veggies to it.
2. If you cut the potatoes in
half, cook on HP for 4 minutes, followed by a Quick Release. If you used whole
mini potatoes, cook on HP for 6 minutes, followed by a Quick Release.
3. Open the lid, and using a
spider strainer, transfer the veggies from the pot to the dish with the beef.
Arrange veggies through the sides of the beef.
Make Gravy:
1. Select Sauté and wait for it
to read Hot.
2. If you want the gravy to be
thicker, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until fully combined and
cornstarch is fully dissolved.
3. Add the mixture to the pot
and gently stir. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. The sauce will thicken more as
it cools off as well.
4. Transfer the gravy to a
gravy boat.
Serve:
1. Drizzle the gravy over the
shredded beef and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
2. Serve and enjoy!
