Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in the pressure cooker pot over medium-high heat using the sauté function.
  3. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  6. Add the beef stock, ensuring the liquid covers about halfway up the roast.
  7. Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 60 minutes.
  8. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.
  9. Open the lid and carefully remove the beef roast to a cutting board, tenting it with foil to rest.
  10. Skim excess fat from the surface of the cooking liquid, leaving about 2 tablespoons.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with a splash of cold water to create a slurry.
  12. Return the cooker to sauté mode and stir the flour slurry into the liquid.
  13. Simmer the gravy for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  14. Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  15. Slice the beef against the grain and serve with the warm gravy.

Note

For best results, use a chuck roast as it has the ideal fat content for braising.

If you prefer a thicker gravy, add an additional tablespoon of flour to the slurry.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

You can add root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and parsnips to the pot during the last 10 minutes of pressure cooking for a complete meal.
