Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrot, diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and season it generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Set your pressure cooker to the 'Sauté' mode. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up.
Sear the beef in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pressure cooker and place it on a plate.
In the same pressure cooker, add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Deglaze the pot by adding the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), dried oregano, dried thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Return the seared beef to the pressure cooker, nestling it into the liquid and vegetables.
Seal the pressure cooker lid and set it to 'Pressure Cook' on high for 45 minutes.
Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then carefully do a quick release to remove any remaining pressure.
Open the lid and remove the beef. Let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding or slicing.
While the beef rests, switch the pressure cooker back to 'Sauté' mode and simmer the sauce for 5-10 minutes to thicken, if desired.
Serve the beef topped with the sauce and garnish with fresh parsley. Pair with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a complete meal.
