Cook Notes Summary

The recipe worked very well with a chuck roast cooked at high pressure for 90 minutes, producing a fall-apart texture, and 5 minutes of pressure cooking was preferable for the vegetables because 4 minutes left them underdone. Eye of round was less suitable, with 60 minutes proving insufficient, and 45 minutes was also inadequate for a partially frozen roast. Next time, use chuck rather than eye of round, ensure the roast is fully thawed, retain the 90-minute cooking time, and pressure-cook the vegetables for 5 minutes.

Cut small slits throughout the chuck roast, insert the garlic slivers, and season it generously with salt and black pepper.

Heat the oil in the Instant Pot on sauté mode or in a skillet. Sear the roast well on every side.

Put the seared roast in the Instant Pot with the onion soup mix, roughly chopped onion and celery, water, red wine, and bay leaves.

Cook on High Pressure for 90 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally.

Cut the fresh onion, celery, carrots, and potatoes into large pieces.

Add the cut vegetables and mushrooms to the pot roast.

Cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes, then promptly release the pressure.

Remove and discard the bay leaves. Serve the roast with the vegetables and cooking liquid.
