Ingredients

Scale

3 lbs beef chuck roast
3 medium yellow onions, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 tsp dried thyme
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Set your Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode and add olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides until golden brown (3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, sauté sliced onions until caramelized (about 10 minutes). Stir occasionally.
3. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in 1 cup of beef broth while scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in thyme and bay leaves.
5. Return the seared roast to the pot with any collected juices. Add enough broth to cover halfway (approximately 1 cup). Secure the lid and set to 'Manual' mode for 60 minutes.
6. Once cooking is complete, carefully release pressure according to manufacturer instructions. Slice or shred the roast against the grain and serve with caramelized onions and broth.
