How to make beef roast gravy in Instant Pot or pressure cooker
Follow the initial steps stated above. Then, when you have removed the cooked meat to shred, that is when you can make a gravy out of the broth left in the IP.
Add a slurry of starch and water into the broth to thicken it into gravy. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
Reserve this for use in reheating later or to top the shredded meat when serving. You can also use this gravy to top mashed potatoes that you can serve alongside this meaty dish.
Or, once you remove the potatoes along with the beef, you can mash them then, season to turn into mashed potatoes.
What meat cut is best for pot roast?
Chuck, brisket, or round. These are tough and lean cuts with minimal fat. Tough ones are better choices aside from the price point of view.
Since you will be subjecting the meat to high pressure, then, even the cheaper tough cuts can be used. The collagen in these cuts turns into gelatin which makes this dish silky. At the same time, the meat becomes tender enough to be shredded.
What red wine is best to use for it?
The best choice would be something that you would drink, too. If you like to drink it, then, it is probable that you will love the dish made with it, too.
How to Store
- Refrigerate: Let it cool completely and then, transfer it into an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: You can freeze leftovers for up to 3 months, sealed in freezer bags. To reheat, thaw overnight and heat on the stove together with the sauce.
Recipe Tips
- You may opt to make this using the slow cooker or on the stove.
- There is no need to thaw meat when cooking with the IP but extend the cooking time by at least 20 minutes.
- When storing leftovers, make sure to put in sufficient sauce or gravy to prevent them from being too dry.
