This Instant Pot Pot Roast is everything you've imagined a pot roast prepared in your Instant Pot would be; tender, juicy, and flavorful. The Pot Roast, along with the vegetables and decadent broth, is sure to please. If you are looking for a hearty weeknight meal, then this is the recipe you must bookmark.
Add the olive oil into the inner cooking pot of your Instant Pot. Next, select the "Sauté" button. Then use the "Adjust" button to select the "More/High" setting.
As soon as the Instant Pot is hot, add in the beef roast and season to taste. Make sure to sear the roast on all sides. To achieve the perfect sear, allow 3 - 4 minutes on each side. Then remove the roast and transfer it to a plate and set aside.
As soon as the roast is removed, you will need to deglaze the inner pot by adding the beef both and scrapping the bottom of the pot with a rubber spatula. You want to release the brown bits from the bottom. Then, add in the tomato paste, the Italian seasoning, the cocoa powder, and the garlic powder. Stir the ingredients to thoroughly combine them then push the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button to turn off the Sauté function.
Next, add the roast back into the Instant Pot and add the lid. Make sure to lock the lid into place and then set the vent to "Sealing". Select the "manual button" and adjust to the "High Setting", if necessary. Set to cook in 60 minutes.
Once the roast is ready, allow the pressure to release naturally on it's own for 10 minutes below doing a quick release on any pressure that's left over. Add the onion, potatoes, carrots, and green beans on top of the beef roast.
Cover the Instant Pot and make sure to lock the lid into place. Set the vent to “Sealing” and push the “Manual” button (should still be on “High.”) Then adjust cook time to 3 minutes.
When the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally on it's own for 5 minutes before doing a quick release on any remaining pressure. MAKE SURE TO NOT STAND DIRECTLY OVER THE POT WHEN RELEASING ANY REMAINING PRESSURE.
Carefully remove lid and transfer the chuck roast and vegetables onto a serving platter. Serve immediately and garnish with parsley if desired.
