Ingredients

3 pounds chuck roast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 cup Dry Red Wine
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1 onion (Diced into Large Pieces)
4 carrots (peeled and cut into large pieces)
1 ½ cups radishes (cut into quarters)
½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum

Instructions

Season the roast with salt and pepper. Then add the oil to the instant pot on the sauté setting. Once heated through, add the roast and brown all the sides of the roast. Then remove the roast. Add the red wine and use it to deglaze the bottom of the instant pot insert and scrape off any pieces off the bottom of the instant pot insert.
Then add in the beef broth, minced garlic, worcestershire sauce and Italian seasoning to the instant pot. Seal and cook on the high pressure setting for 65 minutes and then naturally release the pressure for 20 minutes after this cook time.
While the roast is cooking, prepare and cut the vegetables. Then add the diced vegetables to the instant pot. Seal and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Do a quick release to release the pressure from the instant pot after this cook time.
Remove the beef and vegetables from the instant pot. Shred the beef. If the beef is not shreddable, cook it for 10-15 more minutes in the instant pot.
Then to make the gravy, switch the instant pot to the sauté setting. Whisk the xanthan gum into the juices in the instant pot. Continue to whisk and thicken until the gravy thickens.
Serve the roast alongside the carrots, onions and radishes topped with the gravy and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Tips

- 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.
