Instant Pot Magic Beef
You will be amazed at how delicious this pot roast is with about zero effort. Throw everything into the pot and push a few buttons and before you know it you'll be enjoying a delicious dinner! It's magic because the onions and mushrooms create a gravy without any water added.
Ingredients Needed
- Beef broth–or water and Better than Bouillon
- Mushrooms–they put off the liquid to make the gravy
- Onion–they put off the liquid to make the gravy
- Chuck roast–or rump roast
- Onion soup mix–or make your own
- Ranch dressing mix–I buy the big container from Costco and use it for other recipes like ranch cauliflower mash.
- Cornstarch–to thicken the gravy. You can also use flour or arrowroot.
How to make magic roast
- Add ingredients into Instant Pot: Pour broth into Instant Pot. Add in mushrooms and onions. Place the roast on top. Sprinkle with the onion soup mix and ranch dressing mix.
- Pressure cook: Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 75 minutes for fresh roast or 90 minutes for frozen roast. When time is up let pot sit until pressure releases naturally (about 20 minutes). Remove the lid.
- Move roast to a cutting board.
- Make gravy: Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. In a small bowl stir together cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir the mixture into the pot to thicken the gravy. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Slice or shred roast. Serve roast with gravy.
Notes/Tips
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot . You can also make this in an 8 quart pot or halve the recipe in the 3 quart pot.
- To amp up the flavor brown the roast in a little olive oil for 5 minutes on each side before pressure cooking.
- Serve roast and gravy alongside mashed potatoes or other root vegetables like carrots and parsnips and a side of sweet corn.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
