A flavorful and tender chuck roast cooked in an Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chuck roast
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp thyme dried
- 2 tsp rosemary dried
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp cornstarch optional
- 2 tbsp water optional
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat the olive oil.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until fragrant.
- Season the chuck roast with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
- Push the onions and garlic to the side and place the chuck roast in the pot. Sear on each side until browned.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Pour the mixture over the chuck roast in the Instant Pot.
- Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to manual mode for 60 minutes.
- After the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
- Remove the chuck roast from the Instant Pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Optional: If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix together cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and whisk the cornstarch mixture into the cooking liquid. Let it simmer until thickened.
- Serve the sliced chuck roast with the gravy and enjoy!

Wow, I didn’t expect it to be this good. So easy in the Instant Pot. Thanks!
I’m glad you liked it! The Instant Pot really makes everything easier, doesn’t it? I can never go back to regular cooking now!
Gravy is optional? WHAT?!? That’s the best part! 😍
OMG, right?! Gravy makes everything better! I can’t eat roast without it! 😋
I thought it was too salty. Maybe cut down on Worcestershire sauce next time?
Yummy! I’m not too good at cooking, but this was simple enough for me. Family loved it!
I made this last night, but I think I overcooked it. It came out dry 😢. 60 minutes seemed too long for chuck roast!
I totally get it! The cooking time can vary based on your Instant Pot. Maybe try 50 minutes next time?
Not bad, but I think it needed more seasoning. I added a bit of garlic powder and it improved a bit.
I substituted white wine because that’s what I had. It turned out great! Maybe not traditional, but whatever works!
I love that you made it work with what you had! Cooking is all about improvisation, right? Cheers to good food!
Not sure if white wine would really taste that great. Maybe next time try to stick to red?
Honestly, I don’t see what the fuss is about. Just a chunk of meat in broth. No wow factor for me. 🤷♂️
This was amazing! The meat was so tender, and the flavors were perfect. Definitely a keeper!
Total disaster! The instant pot exploded. I’m not even kidding. Never again! 🚫
