- 3 stalks celery, cut in into large chunks
- 3 carrots, cut into large chunks
- 2 large cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons of beef base, (I used Better Than Bouillon. You may substitute 3 beef bouillon cubes instead of using beef base)

Optional. To thicken the gravy: Turn the pressure cooker to the saute function. Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water to make a cornstarch slurry. Wisk the slurry into the gravy. Taste the gravy, and adjust the seasonings to your liking if necessary. Spoon your desired amount of gravy over the pot roast and vegetables. See notes for lower carb thickening option.
