Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast
Since the first time I tried doing the keto diet a couple of years ago, I have been completely obsessed with Mississippi Pot Roast. I mean the ingredients are all my favorite things, beef, ranch seasoning, butter, pepperoncini peppers to name just a few. However, I tried several times making it in the slow cooker. Although it came out pretty good, often I don't know early in the day what I want for dinner 6-8 hours later.
When I found a recipe for Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast, I was excited. Thinking I had found a quick alternative to making this recipe, I planned to make it on a weeknight. When I read the recipe and saw that it said, pressure cook for 60-70 minutes, I thought they were exaggerating the time the roast needed to cook. Taking upon myself to adjust the time to 45 minutes, thinking that would be plenty long enough. Wrong it was a huge fail. The meat was very tough and Joe and I couldn't even eat it.
So let me give you a few pointers before you try to make this delicious pot roast:
- Use quality beef, organic tends to be extra tender.
- Browning the beef is essential as it will lock in the flavor of the beef juices and also elevate the meat flavor.
- Pressure cook a full hour with 15 minute natural release.
After my practice run in the instant pot didn't come out well, I tried again and followed the directions and let it pressure cook for the full hour and it was fantastic. Also try, Tender Barbecue Pork Ribs Instant Pot /Grill
