One-Pot Wonder: Instant Pot Cross Rib Roast with Rustic Potatoes and Carrots

1.Set the Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the cross rib roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

2.In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3.Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

4.Return the roast to the pot and sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange the halved baby potatoes and carrot pieces around the roast.

5.Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set it to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' on high for 60 minutes. Make sure the valve is set to sealing.

6.Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 15 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.

7.Open the lid and check the roast for tenderness. If it’s not fork-tender, you can cook it for an additional 10-15 minutes under pressure.

8.Remove the roast and vegetables from the pot and let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the roast with the rustic potatoes and carrots.
