Ingredients
- 2 to 3 lbs roast
- 1.5 lbs any potatoes of your choice cut into chunks (I used small baby yellow potatoes so there was not cutting)
- 4 carrots peeled and cut into chunks
- ½ onion cut into chunks
- 4 cups beef stock or broth one carton
- 1 teaspoon minced Garlic
- ½ teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup water for the gravy
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Add 2 to 3 pounds roast to the Instant Pot.
- Season the roast with 1 teaspoon minced garlic, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
- Pour 4 cups beef stock or broth over the roast.
- Put the lid on and set it to sealing. Cook on the high pressure setting for 50 minutes and do a slow (natural) release.
- While the roast is cooking, cut 1.5 pounds potatoes, 4 peeled carrots, and ½ onion into large chunks.
- After this cooking time, remove and shred the beef.
- Add 1.5 pounds potatoes, 4 peeled carrots, and ½ onion to the Instant Pot with the beef juices. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, then do a quick release.
- Remove the vegetables from the Instant Pot.
- Now, time to make the gravy. Change the instant pot setting to the sauté feature.
- In a small bowl whisk together the 1/4 cup of water and the cornstarch.
- Whisk in the water and cornstarch mixture in with the beef juice in the instant pot.
- Bring to a boil, stirring frequently for 3-5 minutes until it begins to thicken. It will thicken as it cools as well.
- Drizzle the gravy over the roast, potatoes, and carrots and enjoy!
