Instructions

Season chuck roast on all sides with salt and pepper to coat it completely.
3 pound boneless chuck roast, 1 ½ teaspoons pepper, 1 ½ teaspoons kosher or sea salt
Set the Instant Pot to saute mode. Once hot, add half of your vegetable oil and allow it to heat.
2 Tablespoon vegetable oil
Place the roast in the pot and sear for 4 minutes. Flip, then sear on the opposite side for another 4 minutes.
Remove the roast and set it aside.
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the pot along with diced onions and minced garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.

When soft and fragrant, add red wine. Saute another 5 minutes, stirring often, until the wine reduces by half.
⅓ cup red wine
Add in half of your beef broth along with tomato sauce, dried thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Give it a good mix.
1 ½ cups beef broth, 15 oz tomato sauce, 1 ½ teaspoons pepper, 4 sprigs dried thyme, 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1 ½ teaspoons kosher or sea salt
Carefully place your roast back into the Instant Pot along with carrots and potatoes.

Secure the Instant Pot lid. Cook on HIGH for 70 minutes. Once 70 minutes is up, allow it to release pressure naturally for 20 minutes.
After naturally releasing the pressure for 20 minutes, carefully release any excess steam. Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and beef broth. Slowly add the mixture to the Instant Pot. Mix it together with the beef drippings in the pot and stir until it thickens. Serve this as a gravy, and enjoy!

Notes

It's important to let the pressure release naturally, so leave it for another 20 minutes after cooking.
Feel free to release the vent after 20 minutes. This will release any extra steam and allow you to open the lid.
