Equipment

  • Pressure cooker

Materials

  • 2 pound chuck roast generously salted on both sides
  • 1 whole onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbs tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes or more to taste
  • 2 tbs fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbs red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbs balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbs coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 1 cup beef stock or chicken stock
  • 1 tbs avocado oil, or olive oil

Instructions

  • Set pressure cooker on saute setting. Add avocado oil.
  • When the pan heats up, add roast. Saute for approximately 5-6 minutes until well browned. Flip over to other side and saute for another 5 minutes.
  • Add everything except stock to the pressure cooker. Stir ingredients around a bit to evenly distribute in pan. Add just enough stock to barely cover the meat.
  • Seal up pressure cooker. Set timer to 60 minutes. Natural release pressure cooker. It should take 15-20 minutes to release.

Notes

To reduce the carbs, rather than using red wine we have substituted a couple tablespoons of red wine vinegar. The addition of balsamic vinegar adds depth and a touch of sweetness. 
This pot roast is delicious over cauliflower mashed potatoes.
