Instant Pot, Pot Roast

potroast1potroast2
Was BEST Pot Roast, EVER!

3.3 lb. Beef Chuck Roast
Salt and Pepper entire Roast

2c Beef Broth (I did Heated Water+Broth Cubes, dissolved)
1 Fresh Garlic Clove, minced
1 small Onion, cut up
1/2tsp Ginger Powder (DO NOT skip!)

1T Tomato Paste
Essential Value Au Jus Packet

Salt and Pepper Roast. Allow to sit at room temp for 20minutes. BUTTER SPRAY Instant Pot. Mix together Broth, Garlic, Onion, and Ginger. Add Broth Mix to Instant Pot. Add in Grate, place meat on top.
I pressure cooked for 40-45min. for 3.3 pound Beef Roast. And, natural released for about 20 minutes. RESERVE JUICES!
Butter spray (Or, Butter) skillet. In skillet, saute 1T Tomato Paste (Yes, do this!). Add in Au Jus pkt. and 2c of Reserved Instant Pot Juices *SEE NOTES. Bring to Boil, then, simmer 3-5minutes.
Shred up Meat, add to Sauce in skillet. Cook down juices some. Allow to set few minutes.
– We served with side of Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes (Below), Croissants, and Carrots+Peas. Photo shows buns, BUT, Croissants are most tasty. Or, make Pot Roast-wiches.
*Notes: Our Au Jus Packet called for 2c Water and 1 Au Jus Packet. Follow your Packet’s Instructions, EXCEPT, you will be using Reserved Instant Pot Juices instead of the water the packet calls for.

TIP:
For the Pot Roast Au Jus Packet, we only needed 2c of Reserved Juice. I still had an extra 2 cups of Instant Pot Juices leftover. From juices that built up. I froze it in a Cup Size Muffin Pan. Then, I added them to a freezer bag. Will make for great cooking in future recipes that calls for Broth.

Instead of Cinnamon or All Spice, Try Jamaican Seasoning to give this a Twist. If using Jamaican, try substituting Potatoes for Sweet Potatoes!

Cook each side of Lamb for about 2-3minutes. Add Lamb to Butter Flavor Cooking Sprayed crock. Add rest of ingredients, adding Frozen Peas last hour. Cook on Low 8-10 hours. Serve with Croissants. Over Mashed Potatoes. Over Noodles. Over/Under Au Gratins or Scalloped Potatoes. However you’d like.

 – Serve with Beer and Cheddar Biscuits
cheddarbiscuits

Make biscuits (Boxed kind, I used Bisquick) accordingly, use Beer instead of Water/Milk. For 2c of Bisquick. Add 1/2tsp Garlic Powder. And, 1/2tsp Butter Seasoning. Mix in a handful, or so, of minced up Cheddar Cheese. Add in Beer. Bake accordingly. Or, deep fry in Oil. Brush melted Butter on and sprinkle with Garlic Powder. Serve.

For Easter or Christmas, we do the NON BEER Version: 
We added 2T of Tay’s Garlic Toast Seasoning. 1T, or so, minced Green Onions. We use half Milk and half Sour Cream instead of the Water that the Bisquick calls for.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Sirloin Steak (I threw mine in frozen)
4 Beef Broth Cubes
2 Herb Ox Beef Broth Pkts. (Or use 2 more Beef Cubes) *SEE NOTES

1T Soy Sauce
1/2T Worcestershire
About 1/8tsp Liquid Hickory Smoke
1tsp Dried Oregano
1/2tsp Onion Powder
1/2tsp Garlic Powder
1/4tsp Pepper
1/8tsp Sea Salt
1.5c Mushrooms, sliced
1 nice sized CUP Onion
1 Celery, halved long way, sliced
1/4c thawed Frozen Peas (Last 30min.) *Optional, I forgot

2c uncooked Egg Noodles (Last 30 minutes, about)

LIGHTLY/BARELY brush Crock Pot with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (A LITTLE)-Yes, do! Add all, except Peas and Egg Noodles. Cook on LOW for 6 hours. Last 30minutes, add in THAWED Peas and Egg Noodles. Once Noodles are soft. Eat. OPTIONAL to add 1tsp of Horseradish Topping to each Bowl Served (Recipe Below). House was split on that.
Being Lazy and forgetting to thaw, I just threw a Frozen Slab of Sirloin into the Crock. Once thawed, I cut into cubes, and added back to crock. Tasted just fine. 
* NOTES: In an attempt to cut “Some” Salt, I used 2 Herb Ox Beef Broth Packets in place of 2 Beef Broth Cubes. Herb Ox is a NO SODIUM Broth. You can VERY WELL use Beef Broth Cubes in it’s place. So, 6 Beef Broth Cubes, if skipping Herb Ox.

1T Prepared Horseradish Sauce
4T Sour Cream
1/8tsp Mustard Powder
1/2tsp Lemon Juice
