Step 1

Turn the pressure cooker to saute, add the oil and let heat.

Step 2

Season the roast with salt and pepper liberally on both sides. Once seasoned, add the roast to the heated oil and sear the meat on all sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Once the meat is browned, remove it from the inner pot. And turn the Instant Pot off.

Step 3

Pour in about ½ cup of the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the inner pot. This will prevent a burn notice from happening--so don't skip this step.

Step 4

Add roast back into the pressure cooker, along with the remaining beef broth. Sprinkle with onion powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Top the roast with minced garlic and horseradish.

Step 5

Place the lid on the pressure cooker. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes per pound.

Step 6

When the cook time has elapsed, allow for pressure to release for 10-20 minutes. This is really important, as it keeps the roast tender and juicy.

Step 7

Once the pressure has been released, open the inner pot and remove the roast, and place it on a cutting board or platter. Tent with foil and let rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting.

Step 8

If cooking carrots and potatoes, add them now to the liquid inside the inner pot. Close the lid and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes for just tender vegetables or 10 minutes for softer potatoes and carrots.

Step 9

Once the cooking time has elapsed, let the pressure release for 5 minutes and then do a quick release of pressure.

Step 10

Serve the potatoes, carrots, and roast with the cooking liquid.

Step 11

Gravy (optional)

Step 12

After the roast and vegetables are cooked, strain the cooking liquid from the inner pot and then return the inner pot to the instant pot.

Step 13

Turn the Instant Pot to saute and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour once the butter has melted and then let cook for 1 minute.

Step 14

Slowly whisk in 1-2 cups of the leftover cooking liquid, whisking well. Let bubble and thicken for several minutes, whisking constantly. Serve with pot roast and vegetables.
