Instant Pot: Revisiting Pot Roast

In my quest to update some of my older recipes for Instant Pot style cooking, here is one of my favorites. I love being able to set this up and an hour and a half later have a perfectly cooked pot roast – tender and flavorful – along with all the sides.

Sunday Pot Roast On A Weeknight

4 lbs Pot Roast (chuck roast)
¼ cup good whiskey (or red wine)
¼ cup beef broth or water (more if needed)
1 tsp rosemary
2 bay leaves (remove before serving)
½ tsp salt & pepper
1 large onion, quartered
6 medium potatoes, quartered
1 lb bag baby carrots

slow-cooker or Instant Pot
