Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Roast:
  • 3-4 lbs chuck roast
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 cup beef broth or water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 6-8 whole pepperoncini peppers (or banana peppers)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for searing)

Instructions:

1. Sear the Roast:
   • Turn the Instant Pot to the “Sauté” setting. Once hot, add the vegetable oil.
   • Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it in the pot for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and set aside.
2. Add Broth and Seasonings:
   • Pour in the beef broth (or water) to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
   • Add the ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix to the broth and stir to combine.
3. Add the Roast:
   • Return the seared roast to the pot, placing it in the liquid.
   • Place the butter on top of the roast and add the pepperoncini peppers around it.
4. Pressure Cook:
   • Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and ensure the vent is sealed.
   • Set the Instant Pot to “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” on high pressure for 60-90 minutes, depending on the size of the roast (60 minutes for a smaller roast, 90 minutes for a larger one).
   • Once cooking is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 15-20 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
5. Shred the Roast:
   • Carefully remove the roast from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat.
   • Return the shredded meat to the pot and mix it with the juices.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the Mississippi pot roast with its juices over mashed potatoes, rice, or in sandwiches.

Enjoy!
