Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

For the Seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons Salt enhances the natural flavors of the chuck roast
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper adds a perfect, subtle heat to the dish
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder imparts a rich, savory aroma
  • 2 teaspoons Onion Powder complements the garlic and builds a flavor foundation

For the Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil necessary for browning the roast
  • 2 cups Beef Broth creates a flavorful base
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce brings umami depth
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme provides an aromatic touch

For Gravy

  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch thickens the gravy
  • ¼ cup Water helps create a smooth slurry

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Season the chuck roast generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, rubbing them evenly across all sides.
  • Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat the olive oil. Brown the seasoned roast on all sides for about 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove the roast and deglaze the pot with beef broth, scraping the bottom to lift flavorful bits.
  • Return the roast to the pot, add Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme, seal the lid, and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes.
  • Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 15 minutes, then use quick release for any remaining pressure.
  • Remove the roast and let it rest for a few minutes to redistribute juices.
  • In a bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir into the pot on sauté mode to thicken gravy for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Slice the rested chuck roast against the grain and serve with gravy.

Notes

Ensure you season generously for enhanced flavor and take time browning for a rich taste. Allow natural pressure release for tender meat.
