Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 3-4 lb beef chuck roast or your favorite cut
  • 2 packets of brown gravy mix
  • 3 cups cold water, divided
  • 2 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 2-3 tsp cornstarch and 3 tbsp water (for thickening gravy if you would like it thicker)
Instructions
  1. Place the beef roast, 2 cups of water, salt, and pepper in your Instant Pot. Secure the lid and set for 45 minutes if you are using a thawed beef roast and 90 minutes if you are using a frozen beef roast.
  2. When pressure cooking is over, you can either do a quick release or let it naturally release. If you do a quick release, put a hand towel over the release valve to catch the steam.
  3. Remove the pot roast and shred the meat, being careful to remove any excess fat. If the meat isn't shredding well, you can return it to the pressure cooker for an additional 15 minutes, or you can just cut it into small pieces instead of shredding it. Either way, it will taste great in the gravy.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the last cup of cold water and the two packets of beef gravy. Before returning the shredded meat to the Instant Pot with the remaining liquid (should be about 2 cups), turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting and whisk in the water/gravy mixture.
  5. Add the meat back in, stir well, and let the mixture come to a boil to see how thick it will become. If it is not as thick as you would like, whisk together the cornstarch and 3 tbsp of water and stir it into the gravy. Let it come to a simmer.
  6. Serve gravy over mashed potatoes or rice.
  7. Enjoy!
