If you're looking for easy Sunday dinner ideas to make try this recipe for Sunday Pot Roast. It can be made in the slow cooker or instant pot and it's pure comfort food at it's finest!
Why you will love Instant Pots
Do you have an Instant Pot yet? I just love mine. I will cut up a few potatoes and cook them in my Instant Pot for 10 minutes then I have some already cooked up and ready to eat for the week. Got that idea from watching one of High Carb Hannahs videos on youtube. The Instant Pot is also great for cooking different types of meats fast. If you cook a 3 to 5-pound pot roast on your stove top or in the oven it can take up to 3 hours. This pot roast is done in 1 hr. Pretty sweet huh? I'm also looking forward to using it a lot this Fall. Look out for more IP recipes coming soon.
How to make a Slurry
There is a couple of different way s to make gravy, but I like to add my flour/cornstarch in a liquid measuring cup and whisk in some milk so it's kind of like a runny thick paste. That's how Ree Drummond taught me how to make my gravy and I must say I prefer that method. If there are leftover clumps of flour in your gravy all you have to do is use a strainer to get them out.
Ingredients Needed for Classic Pot Roast
- 2 yellow onions, chopped
- 7 yellow gold potatoes cut into quarters
- 1 ½ cups of baby carrots (do not chop)
- 2 lbs and 4oz beef chuck roast
- 2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 32 oz of beef broth (fat free, low sodium)
- ½ cup of water
- ½ cup cornstarch or flour to thicken the gravy up
Optional Ingredients
Fresh Herbs such as oregano, fresh thyme, rosemary, or parsley
Experiment with different cuts of beef like rump roast or brisket.
Add in some red wine with the stock.
Always store leftovers in airtight containers.
What Instant Pot is the best?
I have the Instant Pot Duo 6 QT Electric Pressure Cooker. You can find it on Amazon. I'm not sponsored by them, it just a kitchen appliance I really like to use. Gotta love those multi-cookers! The Instant Pot Duo multi-cooker combines 7 appliances in one: pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, yogurt maker and warmer – and cooks up to 70% faster!
Are Instant Pots safe?
Don’t be intimidated by your pressure because you’re afraid the lid will pop off or explode! Pressure cookers have built-in features that are for safety reasons. Some of the most common errors made are when the user forgets to turn the venting knob to sealing mode, overfills the pot, or uses the timer button to set the cooking time.

Description
Incredible tender beef and vegetables come together fast in this Instant Pot Pot Roast recipe. The best Sunday dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 yellow onions, chopped
- 7 yellow gold potatoes cut into quarters
- 1 ½ cups of baby carrots (do not chop)
- 2 lbs and 4oz beef chuck roast
- 2 tsp of onion powder
- 2 tsp of garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 32 oz of beef broth (fat free, low sodium)
- ½ cup of water
- ½ cup cornstarch or flour to thicken the gravy up
Instructions
- Add the chopped carrots, potatoes, onions, and chuck roast to your Instant Pot. Then add the garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth to the pot.
- Close your Instant Pot and set it to sealing mode. Set your timer for 1 hr and the Instant Pot mode to pressure cook. When the cooking time is up, do a natural release for 10 minutes.
- Once the pressure cooker is done, remove all the vegetables and chuck roast from the pot. Do not remove the broth. Add that to a medium non-stick skillet.
- In a bowl or liquid measuring cup whisk the flour and water together until it forms a smooth paste. Bring your beef broth to a boil and add the flour/water mixture to the pan. Let that simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until the liquid starts to bubble. When the gravy is ready you can take one of your fingers and run it across the back of a spoon and all the liquid around that area will still stick to the spoon.
- Serving Size: 1 cup
