    <\/span>Ingredients<\/span><\/h3>

    <\/span>For the Pot Roast<\/span><\/h4>
    • 3\u00bd to 4<\/span> pound<\/span> boneless beef chuck roast<\/span><\/li>
    • 3<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> olive oil<\/span> divided<\/span><\/li>
    • 1<\/span> cup<\/span> diced onion<\/span><\/li>
    • 2<\/span> teaspoons<\/span> minced garlic<\/span><\/li>
    • 2<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> tomato paste<\/span><\/li>
    • \u00bd<\/span> cup<\/span> medium to full-bodied red wine<\/span> such as Cabernet, Zinfandel, or Merlot<\/span><\/li>
    • 2<\/span> cups<\/span> low-sodium beef broth<\/span><\/li>
    • 1<\/span> tablespoon<\/span> Worcestershire sauce<\/span><\/li>
    • 4<\/span> carrots<\/span> peeled and cut into large 2- to 3-inch chunks<\/span><\/li>
    • 1\u00bd<\/span> pounds<\/span> whole baby potatoes<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

      <\/span>For the Pot Roast Seasoning Mix<\/span><\/h4>
      • 1\u00bd<\/span> teaspoons<\/span> sea salt<\/span><\/li>
      • 1\u00bd<\/span> teaspoons<\/span> dried crushed rosemary<\/span><\/li>
      • \u00bd<\/span> teaspoons<\/span> dried thyme<\/span><\/li>
      • 1<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> freshly ground black pepper<\/span><\/li>
      • 1<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> granulated garlic or garlic powder<\/span><\/li>
      • 1<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> onion powder<\/span><\/li>
      • \u00bd<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> paprika<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

        <\/span>For the Gravy<\/span><\/h4>
        • \u00bd<\/span> cup<\/span> water<\/span> or as needed<\/span><\/li>
        • 2<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> cornstarch<\/span> or as needed<\/span><\/li>
        • 2<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> cold water<\/span> for the cornstarch slurry<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

          <\/span>Instructions<\/span><\/h3>
          • Cut the chuck roast into 4 to 6 chunks, separating at the seams to expose the fat deposits (if using a highly marbled chuck roast). Use a sharp knife to trim as much of the fat as possible from the chunks of roast. It’s fine if some fat remains but trim as much as you can to ensure that your gravy will not be overly greasy. Place the trimmed chunks of roast on a large piece of foil and blot dry with paper towels.<\/div><\/li>
          • Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle the rub over the pieces of beef and use your hands to press the seasoning into the meat. Wash those hands!<\/div><\/li>
          • Press the SAUT\u00c9 key on the instant pot and the ADJUST key to toggle to the MORE setting. Wait for the pot to say \u201cHOT\u201d before adding ingredients.<\/div><\/li>
          • Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the heated pot. Add half of the seasoned beef (or as much as will fit comfortably without being too crowded) and saut\u00e9 for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until nicely seared. Transfer seared beef to a plate and repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the rest of the beef. Transfer second batch of beef to the plate and set aside.<\/div><\/li>
          • Press CANCEL and then select SAUT\u00c9 again and ADJUST to the REGULAR setting. Add the onions and garlic to the pot and saut\u00e9 for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the red wine, broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Nestle the chunks of browned beef down into the sauce and then top with the carrots and potatoes. Don\u2019t stir. You want the meat submerged in liquid and the carrots and potatoes on top.<\/div><\/li>
          • Place the lid on the Instant Pot. Press the MANUAL button, select HIGH, and set the time to 35 minutes (making sure the steam release handle is in the \u201cSealing\u201d position). After the cooking is complete allow the Instant Pot to do a natural release for 10 minutes then use a long handled spoon to push the steam release handle to the \u201cVenting\u201d position to allow any remaining steam to release completely before you open the pot. Press CANCEL.<\/div><\/li>
          • Transfer the carrots and potatoes to a serving dish and tent with foil to keep warm. Transfer the beef to a cutting board and let it rest while you make the gravy.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

            <\/span>For the Gravy<\/span><\/h4>
            • Press SAUT\u00c9 and ADJUST to select the LOW setting Stir \u00bd cup water to the concentrated cooking liquid in the Instant Pot to dilute it a bit. Taste and if needed, add additional water to dilute as desired. In a small bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons cold water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Whisk the mixture into the Instant Pot and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the gravy has thickened to your liking, stirring occasionally. Press CANCEL and unplug the Instant Pot. Transfer the gravy to a gravy boat.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

              <\/span>For Serving<\/span><\/h4>
              • Shred or chunk the chuck roast and serve with the potatoes, carrots, and plenty of gravy!<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
                <\/div>\n

                <\/span>Notes<\/span><\/h3>
                Blot the beef dry with paper towels before cutting into chunks and seasoning. Dry beef will sear better when it hits the oil.<\/span>
                <\/div>\nTips for Perfect Gravy<\/strong><\/span>
                <\/div>\nIf gravy is not as thick as you\u2019d like after simmering with the cornstarch slurry, mix together an additional 1 tablespoon water with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and whisk it in to the thicken further.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
