Recipe Notes
- Turnips
- Rutabaga
- Radishes
- Cauliflower
- Instant Pot Recommendation – You will need an electric pressure cooker for this recipe. I am using an 8 quart Instant pot but you can use a 6 quart if you prefer.
- Adding Vegetables – Make sure to add the vegetables after the roast has finished cooking in the pressure cooker. This will prevent them from getting mushy.
- Cut of Meat – Make sure to use a tougher type of meat that will hold up. Try using rump roast, chuck roast, brisket or round roast. The pressure cooker will make it tender.
- Brown Roast – It is not necessary but you can sear the roast prior to cooking. Just use the saute setting and put the roast inside with about a tablespoon of oil. Sear for a couple of minutes per side until it is browned.
- Pick the Best Roast – Look for a roast that has a lot of marbling. This will result in a tender finished product.
- Cut Roast – If you are short on time, cut the roast into pieces. I would suggest 2 to 3? pieces and reduce the cooking time to 40 minutes.
- Dutch Oven – This roast can also be prepared in your Dutch Oven.
- Pepperoncini
- Cauliflower
- Sliced Jalapenos
- Pickles

- Roasted Asparagus – Asparagus only takes a few minutes to cook and pairs nicely with roast. If you need a veggie in minutes, this is the one to try. We made these in the oven but you can also use the air fryer.

We love to hear from you! If you make this Keto Roast Instant Pot Recipe, please leave us a comment.
Thank you for posting! This was delicious and so easy to make. The hardest part was the waiting. I’m new to the instant pot, but got one for Christmas and finally decided to try it out. The meat was fall-apart, and my husband didn’t complain that I was feeding him keto! Lol The only thing I will mention is that your recipe card doesn’t actually say to add the meat back into the pot after deglazing, which might be confusing for someone who skips the above explanation on a busy night. Also, ~10 minutes for browning, +65 minutes for pressure cooking the meat, +20 minutes for natural release, + 10 minutes to cook the veggies is more around 1 hour 45 minutes, so for others planning to make this recipe at the end of a busy day, be prepared for a later dinner.
