We seared the roast in a skillet with olive oil before moving it to the instant pot. We also added extra pepperoncini because we love it!
This was our first meal with the instant pot, and it turned out so much better than when we cook this same type of roast in a crock pot!
I made it exactly as the recipe stated and it was AMAZING!! Would definitely make again.
Substitute hot pepper rings for pepperocini. Makes a fabulous French Dip (lots of broth). A great way to use leftover roast is to cook noodles half way, drain, put back in pan. Put frozen peas on top. Add heated roast and plenty of broth. Cover and cook on low stirring once until noodles are done.
Amazing! The only modifications I made were to salt pepper and sear the roast first in olive oil (5 minutes per side on the saute setting) and I added some fire roasted red peppers that I happened to have in a jar in the fridge. Tender juicy huge flavor and just the right kick.
This was GOOD! I used this as a base to what I wanted to do with my instant pot. The peppercinis add so much needed flavor but I got a little out of control adding the juice - so beware and control the pour!!! Ours in probably too spicy for our lil toddler man who is two years old so more for us haha.
It was done in 2 hours like the recipe says and it was so tender. I seared the roast using sautée method on my instapot first and a little bacon grease. I also used two gravy mixes at the beginning of the recipe mixed with 2 cups water (instead of boullion or beef broth). I also had italian packet instead of onion soup mix. I added onion and carrots besides the peppericinins on the top. Definitely going to be a staple in my instant pot recipe book!!! So good.
The flavor of this roast was amazing and so tender! I didn't have a packet of ranch mix so I substituted with 3 tablespoons of ranch dressing. I also added 1 red onion thin sliced like another reviewer suggested as well as seared the roast on both sides prior to adding the rest of the ingredients to the pot. We made mashed potatoes to go with this and made a gravy using the broth from the roast. It also reheated really well which was great! For leftovers we made a french dip style sandwich which was also awesome. Will definitely be making this again.
I'm new to the Instant Pot (3qt). I want to try this recipe but the 110 minutes sounds like a lot. Do I need to adjust time for my smaller pot? Help!
I love this recipe! So easy and I love putting the meat over rice! Definitely would recommend this recipe to anyone! Favorite meal ever!
I had to make a couple of substitutions and made a few careless mistakes.
I didn't have pepperoncini so I used a jar of sliced jalapenos with the juice, I didn't have onion soup mix but used what I always have on hand, vegetable soup mix - I completely forgot the butter until the roast was almost cooked so didn't use it at all. I did sear the 6 chunks I cut up of the 5 pound roast and then added all the other ingredients. It was absolutely delicious - a little too spicy for some but that was because I used jalapenos. The meat was super tender and moist and I will definitely make again without the butter. Thanks so much for a great and easy recipe! I'm rating only 4 stars because of my mistakes and substitutions - I'm pretty sure the butter takes this dish of the charts - but I think I'll continue to make it without.
I made it exactly as the recipe was written in an Instant Pot. I think it was cooked too long as the meat was dry.
