Easy Instant pot beef pot roast recipe
It only take 4 easy affordable ingredients to make this recipe. I didn’t use any carrots this time, but you sure can if you like to. So what in the pot?
- Beef chuck or round roast
- small potatoes
- tomato paste
- condensed onion or mushroom soup
I don’t usually cook with condensed soups, but it works perfectly with this recipe. If you want a quick dinner fix for the family but you are out of fresh herbs, this is the way to go. Just dump the soup in to your instant pot along with tomato paste, cut meat in cubes for faster cooking and place on top. Add whole washed with the skin on potatoes and close the lid. Oh i love dump and start recipes!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lb beef chuck or round roast
- 3 lb small potatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 can condensed onion or mushroom soup 10,5 oz
Instructions
- Add tomato paste and canned soup into your pot. Mix. Add cubed beef on top of the mixture and then add washed unpeeled potatoes on top. Close an lock the lid of your pressure cooker.*
- Set it on manual to HIGH PRESSURE for 40 minutes. Once cooked, Quick release and carefully open the lid.
- Scoop meat and potatoes into the plate and serve.
Notes
*Add an additional liquid like 1 cup of broth or water to prevent the BURN message. Its only needed if you have a newer Instant Pot model that is more sensitive. I own a 2018 IP and never had a problem with burn messages.
** A lot of my readers suggested to do Natural Release for 15 minutes instead of Quick Release to make sure that the meat is tender. Again if you dont have time for NR, dont worry, the meat should be very tender either way
