Instant Pot Pot Roast
  1. 1

    Turn on a multi-function pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot) and choose the Sauté function.

  2. 2

    Mix salt, marjoram, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the roast to coat all sides.

  3. 3

    Drizzle oil into the preheated pot. Wait 30 seconds, then place the roast in the pot; do not move it, letting it sear for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the roast and sear another 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat until all sides are browned, about 15 minutes total.

  4. 4

    Add potatoes, carrots, and onion to the pot.

  5. 5

    Pour in the broth and Worcestershire sauce.

  6. 6

    Close and lock the lid; set the vent to Sealing. Select High Pressure per the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 60 minutes for a 3-pound roast or 80 minutes for a 5-pound roast. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  7. 7

    Use the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Carefully release the remaining pressure using the quick-release method per the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  8. 8

    Transfer the roast, potatoes, carrots, and onions to a serving platter.
