Instant pot roast beef makes an impressive roast dinner in a fraction of the time it would take to slow roast it. Plus, the beef comes out melt-in-your-mouth tender!
Pour half of the olive into the Instant Pot. Turn Instant Pot to the saute function.
Pour the remaining half of the olive into a bowl with the garlic salt and black pepper. Combine well.
Rub the oil mixture all over the roast. Place the prepared roast into the hot oil in the pot. Brown well on all sides. Remove the browned roast from the pot and set aside.
To the remaining juices and oil in the pot, add the minced garlic and saute for a minute or two. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes to soften.
Add rosemary, soy sauce, and beef broth.
Add the rack to the instant pot.
Add potatoes, carrots, and the roast on top of the rack. Nestle the bay leaves into the liquid in the pot.
Close vent and cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. Do a natural release.
A gravy can be made from the juices in the pan by making a slurry of 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and about 1/2 cup of the juices. Combine well then add slurry to the remaining juices in the pot. Cook on saute function until bubbly and mixture begins to thicken.
Notes
Prep time includes the time it takes for your pressure cooker to begin cooking and time for your natural release.
Store leftover instant pot roast beef in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave.
Do note that we used 1 3/4 pounds of sirloin tip roast, any larger of a cut will require longer in the pressure cooker.
