When I was growing up my grandmother always made pot roast on Sundays.  I can remember walking into her house and smelling that delicious and hearty aroma.  Of course she had to stand at the stove and oven all day to make hers.  I love that the Instant Pot takes the need to babysit a roast all day out of the equation.  Now, I can just set it and let it cook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I add other Vegetables to this pot roast<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely, you can add potatoes, carrots, celery or any other vegetable that your heart desires. You just have to be careful to not over cook your vegetables. If you cut them into small pieces, they will probably turn to mush fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"instant<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I'm using radishes to help cut out a little bit of the unhealthy carbs that I'm desperately in love with! There's a distinct difference in eating radishes raw on salads and alone, then they are cooked. I love the freshness that raw dishes have; however, when you cook with them, the flavor mellows out and brings more of a “potato” flavor profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you're looking for a great potato substitute, then totally go with radishes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best cut of beef for Instant Pot Pot Roast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For me personally I find a beef chuck roast to be the most tender when I am making a pot roast. The key to making a great pot roast in the Instant Pot is to find a piece of meat with great marbling. Please don't use a bottom round cut or a piece of lean meat. It will turn out very tough and chewy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there might be ways to cook a bottom round, but this recipe isn't the correct version to prepare it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between  Angus roast and a regular roast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Angus beef is a different variety of beef. It comes from the Aberdeen Angus cow.   The most noticeable difference between angus beef and regular beef is that angus has more fat content which leads to more marbling.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are cooking with beef marbling means a more tender and more flavorful  cut of beef.  While the marbling does equal a higher fat count, it helps keep the flavor and moisture in your beef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if You get the Dreaded “Burn” Message? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, don't freak out. Take a deep breath, and let's figure this out! Some models are a little bit more sensitive others, and it could be that you didn't scrape off all the bits from searing the roast in your Instant Pot on Saut\u00e9 mode. Release the pressure, and remove the roast. Scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to make sure you got it all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that you don't get this error, make sure that you're really deglazing the bottom of your metal liner really well with a wooden spoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can You Use a Frozen Roast in the Instant Pot? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You totally can! You will just have to adjust the cooking time. I would probably recommend adding an additional 20-30 minutes onto your Instant Pot. Also, you won't be able to sear your roast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
