Pressure Cooker Pot Roast With Mushroom Gravy - Easy

Shelley Lee's Note:

This is a super easy recipe and SO good! Makes it's own gravy. I adapted this from my favorite crock pot recipe for pot roast. Just cook and serve with steamed rice. I'm new to pressure cooking and I just LOVE it!

I had a 3 lb. roast that I cut into 2" inch chunks and I covered the chunks with flour and salt and pepper. Then I browned in the pressure cooker. I literally dumped all of the other ingredients on top of the meat chunks. I pressure cooked at 15 lbs pressure for 20 minutes. Let it cool down for about 10 minutes and carefully let the pressure off in increments. This is a "jewel" of a recipe. I will prepare again and again. I think I will add shredded carrots on top of the rest ingredients next time. Great on noodles, rice, potatoes or toast. I am using my pressure cooker quite a bit, both of my ovens went out at the same time!

Like my Grandma makes!!! This roast turned out so tender and perfect, a hit with the whole family! I chopped mine into 2 in chunks like the previous reviewer did and subbed chopped onion for the mushrooms (just preference). Thank you for a PERFECT first pressure cooker meal!

Since the flavor is unbeatable and we LOVED IT, giving it five stars instead of just four. Don't understand why folks hold back that last star when they LOVE a recipe. Used a vegetable steamer insert with peeled potatoes, onion cut into quarters, and whole shallots up out of the liquid. It keeps them from turning into mush. Easy and wonderful pressure cooker recipe! ****
