I’ve been making this pot roast for 20+ years now. I’ve made it in the slow cooker and in the oven, but today I’m showing you how to shorten that cooking time and make the Easiest Instant Pot Chuck Roast ever. This is one of my family’s favorite meals. My kids have fought over who gets seconds and thirds on the carrots. No Sauteing, Just Throw It InWhen I’ve looked at instant pot roast recipes, so many of them want you to spend time searing the roast and saute things. I even saw one that was 120 minutes cook time. What is the point of the Instant Pot if you’re going to do all that? I like a recipe that I can just throw it all in and voila, it’s done. If that’s you, too, then this is the recipe you’re looking for. This recipe make a fall apart, tender and flavorful chuck roast with a 65-minute instant pot cook time. There is no searing anything. There is no sauteing the juices. You don’t need beef broth. It takes just four ingredients. How long do you cook an Instant Pot Chuck Roast?For a 3-lb chuck roast, this recipe takes just 65 minutes. You do have to wait for the pressure to build up, which usually takes Can you cook a frozen roast in the Instant Pot?I personally would not do this. My secret to cooking it just a little more than an hour is cutting it into chunks, which can be very difficult with a solidly frozen piece of meat like a roast. How do you make a Roast in the Instant Pot?This recipe is truly a “throw it in” recipe. My only preparation is cutting the roast into chunks and quickly mixing up the soup mix with some water. I use a wire trivet to avoid anything sticking to the bottom. I add a 1 1/2 to 2 lb bag of baby carrots and then place the roast chunks on top of the carrots. Lastly, I pour in the soup mix all over everything. My kids prefer mashed potatoes with their roast, so I make them separately. But you can skip those and use quartered small red potatoes or tiny potatoes with the carrots. If you do this, I recommend just adding 1 lb of baby carrots so everything will fit into the Instant Pot. My family likes their roast with gravy. When the roast is done, I take out the carrots and roast and turn the soup into a gravy. I turn the Instant Pot to saute and let the soup mix reach a boil. Then, I mix up cold water with corn starch and add it to the soup and stir. It takes just a couple minutes to thicken into a delicious savory gravy that is perfect for the roast and mashed potatoes.
