A flavorful and tender chuck roast cooked in an Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chuck roast
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp thyme dried
- 2 tsp rosemary dried
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp cornstarch optional
- 2 tbsp water optional
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat the olive oil.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until fragrant.
- Season the chuck roast with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
- Push the onions and garlic to the side and place the chuck roast in the pot. Sear on each side until browned.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Pour the mixture over the chuck roast in the Instant Pot.
- Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to manual mode for 60 minutes.
- After the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
- Remove the chuck roast from the Instant Pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Optional: If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix together cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and whisk the cornstarch mixture into the cooking liquid. Let it simmer until thickened.
- Serve the sliced chuck roast with the gravy and enjoy!

Wow, I didn’t expect it to be this good. So easy in the Instant Pot. Thanks!
I’m glad you liked it! The Instant Pot really makes everything easier, doesn’t it? I can never go back to regular cooking now!
Gravy is optional? WHAT?!? That’s the best part! 😍
OMG, right?! Gravy makes everything better! I can’t eat roast without it! 😋
beef + olive = yum! 10/10 would make again. 😋
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The combo of beef and olive oil really does make everything better. 😄
My family loved it! Even my picky eater had seconds! 😈
That’s awesome to hear! Can’t wait to try it myself for my picky kids!
Is 60 mins really enough? I thought roasts usually take longer than that? But it did taste good!
I’ve made this before, and 60 mins is perfect in the Instant Pot! It really saves time. Glad you liked it! 🙂
I don’t know what I did wrong, but my roast was tough. I followed the instructions exactly! 🤨
I thought it was too salty. Maybe cut down on Worcestershire sauce next time?
Absolutely delicious! The flavors blended perfectly. Will make again!
Yummy! I’m not too good at cooking, but this was simple enough for me. Family loved it!
Skipped the wine, used water instead. Still came out yum!
Water? Really? That’s bold! But hey, if it worked for you, more power to ya! 😄
What’s the deal with red wine? Can I just use more broth? Seems like a waste. Just my opinion.
I made this last night, but I think I overcooked it. It came out dry 😢. 60 minutes seemed too long for chuck roast!
I totally get it! The cooking time can vary based on your Instant Pot. Maybe try 50 minutes next time?
I tried this recipe and it was okay, but my roast came out a bit dry. I think I cooked it too long?
Not bad, but I think it needed more seasoning. I added a bit of garlic powder and it improved a bit.
Simple and delicious. I added some carrots and potatoes for a one-pot meal. So good! 🍲
This is just boiled meat, right? Not impressed. 🙁
Yum! The gravy is sooooo good. I might just drink it straight!
Drink the gravy? That sounds kinda gross. But to each their own, I guess. 🤔
Right? I could totally see myself just pouring it in a cup! 😂 This recipe is a game changer!
I substituted white wine because that’s what I had. It turned out great! Maybe not traditional, but whatever works!
I love that you made it work with what you had! Cooking is all about improvisation, right? Cheers to good food!
Not sure if white wine would really taste that great. Maybe next time try to stick to red?
Honestly, I don’t see what the fuss is about. Just a chunk of meat in broth. No wow factor for me. 🤷♂️
Instant Pot cooking is the way to go! I’m a newbie but this was super easy and I had no issues!
I’m not a fan of red wine, can I skip that part? I want to try this but not sure about the taste.
This recipe is amazing! The roast turned out super tender, and the gravy was perfect. My family loved it!
This was amazing! The meat was so tender, and the flavors were perfect. Definitely a keeper!
Total disaster! The instant pot exploded. I’m not even kidding. Never again! 🚫
Sooo good! I add carrots and potatoes too. Gotta have da veggies!
Idk about adding all those veggies. Ain’t chuck roast supposed to be just meat? Sounds kinda weird to me.
Yesss, veggies make everything better! Carrots and potatoes are a great addition. I always throw in some celery too!
I don’t know, this seemed too simple. Did I really need the wine?
This looks good but like, why do we need the cornstarch? Can’t we just use regular flour? Just a thought.
This recipe is a game changer! The roast turned out so tender and flavorful. I’ll definitely make this again!
Wow! Can’t believe how easy this was. I didn’t have rosemary, so I used basil instead. Still delicious!
Tasted good but took me forever to clean the pot. Kinda worth it tho.
Honestly the best roast ever. My family devoured it within minutes! Thanks for sharing!
Meh… was kinda bland even with all those spices. I was expecting something more flavorful.
I totally get what you’re saying! I think it really depends on how much seasoning you use. More spices might do the trick!
