5. - OPTIONAL: Add vegetables after first 3 hours of cooking to avoid them becoming too soft.

7. NOTE: Because recipes need exacting amounts it was hard to list the envelope quantities. For clarity, my Italian Dressing envelope was 0.7 (19g) ounce size, My Ranch was 1 ounce (28g) size and my Beef Gravy mix was 0.87 (24g) size. These sizes worked perfectly for flavor and were not over-salty.

This really did come out amazing. Chose to try this recipe for it's easiness for one of this past Holiday's parties and it was such a hit. Guest couldn't get enough. No worrying about pressure cooker guesswork and no hot oven for 3 or more hours. Didn't even have to brown the beef. Just set and forget. I do not know why the three packets work, but the gravy as it mixes with the released juices from the beef and added vegetables was delicious. I used fingerling potatoes, pearl onions and carrots and some parsnips during last hour. Came out perfect. Everybody wanted recipe. Thank's for sharing.
