Instant Pot Balsamic Pot Roast
I have been busy cooking with my Instant Pot again. It is a brilliant cooking device that I break out almost every week.
Earlier I shared with you my Instant Pot Italian Beef Dinner Recipe. My family loves pot roast, so I like trying to come up with new ways to make it. This week, I am sharing with you how to make this Instant Pot Balsamic Pot Roast with potatoes and carrots. I am not sure which I like more.... they are both good. I suggest you try both and tell me which you prefer.
The Instant Pot is fantastic for pot roasts because they come out cooked like you have been slowly cooking them forever and they were finished in an hour or less.
For this Instant Pot Balsamic Pot Roast recipe, I used those cute little pearl onions. I don't use them enough in my recipes and it is such a shame because they are so flavorful. They really are terrific in this dish.
Balsamic Gravy
The balsamic gravy really gives the roast and potatoes a nice finish. The gravy is a little sweet and a little salty mixed in with that lovely beef flavor. I mix in cornstarch in the end to thicken up the gravy. You can totally skip this step if you wish. The sauce will be more watery... but it will still have that incredible flavor.
