This kind of pressure cooking turns complex weekend-only dishes into everyday fare. I adapted our classic Yankee pot roast recipe for cooking in the Instant Pot, using baby carrots and frozen pearl onions to cut down on prep time. Coating the roast with seasoned flour before browning adds flavor and helps thicken the sauce — an important step in a sealed system where water can't evaporate. Spoon the sauce over the beef and vegetables, then serve alongside mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or rice.

Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour: 0.25 cup
  • kosher salt: 1 Tbsp
  • ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper: 1 piece
  • (3 1/2) pound boneless beef chuck roast: 1 piece
  • olive oil: 3 Tbsp
  • yellow onion: 1 piece (diced)
  • garlic: 3 clove (minced)
  • ½ teaspoons minced fresh rosemary: 1 piece
  • beef stock: 1 cup (divided)
  • Merlot wine: 0.75 cup
  • tomato paste: 2 Tbsp
  • bay leaf: 1 piece
  • baby carrots: 2 cups
  • frozen pearl onions: 2 cups
  • stalks celery: 3 piece (cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • rosemary sprigs: 3 piece (for garnish, fresh)
