This was amazing!!! I used a pork tenderloin and cooked it in my electronic pressure cooker. I didn't cut back on any of the liquids, I actually added a bit more probably a cup to cup and a half of beer. I rubbed it w/a lot of our favorite beer mustard prior to cooking and didn't salt or pepper the meat. I did add a little to the veggies before placing the meat in. I had exactly 2 cups of liquid left and when the gravy thickened I added 1/3 cup of sour cream to it...heaven! We had this along with rosemary roasted red potatoes, fantastic! I will definitely be making this for years to come :)

Heaven on a fork!!!! This was just amazingly good....juicy, so tender you couild cut it with a fork. We kept going back for more like pigs. I had a roast just under 4 pounds and it was done to 165 in 2 hours and 20 minutes. I added a can of sauerkraut (@16 oz) to the veggies; mixed sour cream into the gravy; coated it all over with country mustard before applying the caraway seed mixture; reduced the salt and cooked it in a dutch oven according to directions. I will make this again and again....real comfort food. TY, Molly!!

This was excellent...and so easy. I used a 7 pound shoulder roast and added potatoes to the vegetables so I would end up with a more complete side dish. I had 2 cups of pan juices so I didn't need any other liquid to make the gravy. I did add 4 ounces of sour cream to it near the end. We really enjoyed the flavor and this is something I would definitely make again.
