What ingredients do you need?

To make this pressure cooker Italian pot roast, you need the following ingredients:

• beef chuck roast-I prefer chuck roast for the fat content. It comes out the most tender.
• small red potatoes
• carrots- You can use baby carrots, sliced carrots, or cut up the long carrots. However, use fresh carrots.
• tomato sauce-Plain tomato sauce, not flavored or spiced.
• McCormick thick and zesty spaghetti sauce mix

How to make Instant Pot Italian pot roast

Follow these simple steps to make Instant Pot Italian pot roast.

1. In a mixing bowl, mix tomato sauce, McCormick thick and zesty spaghetti sauce mix, and water.
2. In an Instant Pot, add beef chuck roast and pour sauce over it.
3. Layer quartered small red potatoes over the roast.
4. Layer peeled and quartered carrots over the potatoes.
5. Cook on meat/stew setting for 45 minutes.
6. Natural release before opening.

Tip

If you prefer a thicker gravy sauce, remove meat, potatoes, and carrots.

Mix ¼ cup of sauce with 2 teaspoon cornstarch in small bowl. Mix in the mixture with the sauce in the Instant Pot. Cook on saute setting for 5 minutes to thicken. Rest 5 additional minutes.

Why use chuck roast?

Chuck roast has a larger amount of fat content than the other cuts of roast.

The fat content gives additional flavor and tenderness.

Look for meats labeled as: chuck roast, boneless chuck roast, chuck shoulder pot roast, 7 bone chuck pot roast, or beef chuck arm.

Note

The dry Spaghetti Sauce mix combined with the juices from the meat and veggies develops a delicious Italian gravy.

(Don't worry it will not taste like spaghetti!)

If you don't want to use the store bought seasoning and want to make your own, Taste of Home has a good mix recipe.
