This easy and delicious Instant Pot Chuck Roast recipe produces tender and juicy pieces of beef with a rich and flavorful broth.

Ingredients

  • 3-3.5 lbs. beef chuck roast
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup full-bodied red wine (such as cabernet or a merlot)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
  • 1-1 1/4 teaspoons sea salt (less for smaller roasts between 2-3 lbs.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4-5 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)

Directions

  1. 1

    Pour the water, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce into the stainless steel bowl of the Instant Pot.

  2. 2

    Add the beef chuck roast and then sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.

  3. 3

    Place the fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs on top of the roast, and then click the lid into place on the Instant Pot. Set the vent to seal.

  4. 4

    Cook for 115 minutes at high pressure.

  5. 5

    When the Instant Pot is done cooking, it will come down from pressure naturally, about 28-30 minutes (I do not recommend using quick release with this recipe. Natural release ensures tender and juicy meat. If you are in a hurry, try to give it at least 15 minutes of natural release before letting out the rest of the pressure manually.).
