Braised Beef with Vegetables

(0)
"When you stay in on a Friday and whip up a Pot Roast for you and your friends... I think I’m 23 going on 83 ???‍♀️ . Once again I made use of my favorite kitchen appliance for this one... the instant pot! This could definitely be made in the oven but the instant pot cut the cooking time by about 1/3 of what it would be in the oven."

  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 3 potatoes

Method

  • Step 1

    Add olive oil to pot on sauté setting.

  • Step 2

    Liberally season meat with salt and pepper. Add to oil and brown all sides (~5 min/side)

    Remove meat and add veggies and let cook fo 3-5 min

    Add in wine and stir, scraping bits from the bottom

  • Step 5

    Add in broth, spices and meat

    Close lid and put on meat setting for 1 hour.

    Allow pot to naturally release for 15-20 min.

  • Step 9

    Open the pot and remove the meat to shred. Remove the large chunks of veggies and plate with meat. Remove bay leaf.

  • Step 10

    Here I chose to immersion blend the juices a bit to thicken it but could easily serve as is. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
