🥘Ingredients

For the Roast

2 lbs beef roast
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Gravy

2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water

👨‍🍳Directions

1Season the beef roast with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.
2Ensure the roast is evenly coated with the seasoning.
3Heat the olive oil in the pressure cooker over medium-high heat.
4Add the seasoned roast and sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes.
5Remove the roast from the pressure cooker and set aside.
6Pour the beef broth into the pressure cooker, scraping the bottom to deglaze and release any browned bits.
7Place the roast back into the pressure cooker, making sure it is submerged in the broth.
8Secure the lid and set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 20 minutes.
9After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
10Remove the roast from the pressure cooker and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
11This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy and tender roast.
12While the roast is resting, prepare the gravy by mixing cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth.
13Pour the mixture into the pressure cooker and stir well to combine with the beef broth.
14Turn the pressure cooker to sauté mode and bring the gravy to a simmer, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
15Slice the roast against the grain into thin slices.
16Serve the roast with the prepared gravy.
17The roast should be tender and easily sliced, with a rich, savory flavor from the pressure cooking process.
18The gravy should be thick and glossy, with a deep beefy flavor.
19Enjoy your pressure cooker roast with your favorite side dishes.
