Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of celery soup and dry beef stew seasoning mix until a creamy paste forms. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function. Add the chuck roast and sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side. This step is crucial for developing rich flavor. Add the soup paste mixture, beef broth, quartered onion, and sliced mushrooms. Close and lock the lid.

03

Step

Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 40 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build before cooking begins. (10-15 minutes)

04

Step

Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Add the halved baby red potatoes and baby carrots to the pot. Close and lock the lid. Return the cooker to high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. (10-15 minutes)

06

Step

Release the pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 10 to 30 minutes. This ensures the roast is incredibly tender. (10-30 minutes)

07

Step

Transfer the chuck roast to a large bowl and shred it with two forks, removing any excess fat. Strain the remaining liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl to remove any solids. Whisk the strained liquid until well combined and slightly emulsified, about 1 minute. This creates a smooth, flavorful gravy. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Serve the shredded roast on top of the cooked vegetables, and generously pour the homemade gravy over the top. Enjoy this comforting and delicious meal!

For an even richer flavor, consider searing the chuck roast in a tablespoon of olive oil before browning.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the strained liquid before whisking and serving.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
