Anyone looking for one of the best comfort food meals out there better make sure and try this recipe out! It’s delicious, easy, and did I mention delicious!? You are looking at the Best Instant Pot Chuck Roast!
Are you ready for some of the most delicious roast of your entire life? Isn’t the answer always YES YES YES!
Instant Pot, do yo thing and make our dreams come true. Wow, what a great way to wrap up the day. I won’t judge if you find yourself licking the plate even if no ice cream was involved. This stuff is that awesome.
I had the same concern you probably have right now-doesn’t the meat get dried out from the instant pot? The answer is a big fat NO WAY it’s totally the opposite. That first chunk of meat you pick up is falling apart and is so tender and juicy and you guys just gotta give this a try.

I had my doubts but GEEZ those crazy ideas are long gone.
I’m sure everyone’s favorite part of their Sunday dinner chuck roast is the roast. Duh, of course! However, the carrots and potatoes though!!
Growing up we had roast on Sundays pretty often and the roast was always awesome but you know what else was pretty awesome- smashing up my potatoes and drizzling some Ranch dressing over them!! I know, I know I can’t imagine the looks I am getting right now. I am okay with all of them because those potatoes were worth it. And you know what, I did it again for old time’s sake when we ate this roast the other day and it was STILL awesome. Like a TEN!
For this chuck roast, I seared the roast on both sides and then pressure cooked it for 50 minutes. When it was safe to open up the Instant Pot, I tossed in the veggies and pressure cooked it all for another 10 minutes. That’s it.
Another favorite meal in the books!
Just between you and me my husband said this was hands down the best chuck roast he had ever eaten. You wanna get your hands on that don’t cha?
