When you think of a Sunday comfort meal that gathers family, in many households a pot roast comes to mind.

It's an economic meal where you can purchase a four-pound roast or a whole bird, feed a family, and still have leftovers.

Instant Pot Roasts With Red Meat

The tougher the cut, the better the pot roast. A cheaper cut of beef stands up to the long cooking process (shortened significantly by pressure cooking!). Chuck roasts tend to be the best cut for pot roast, which comes from the front of the cow because it is very rich and flavorful; brisket and round cuts slice neater but aren’t as tender.

Traditionally, a pot roast is braised, browned on the stovetop, and then cooked in a liquid such as water, wine, stock, or broth. Cooking it “low and slow” was the key in a covered casserole dish or Dutch oven at a high temperature resulting in soft middle and crispier, dark golden outsides. Inexpensive vegetables such as onions, celery, carrots, turnips, and potatoes can be added to cook with the roast to complete the meal.

Weekends used to be the best time to prepare for the slow process. Allowing the meat to simmer for hours results in the tender, melt-in-your-mouth roast. Patience is no longer needed thanks to your Instant Pot! You can throw this meal together in under an hour now. You don't have to wait for the weekend to start cooking the roast, you can have this comfort meal any time you are craving it.

Below we've included some of the best Instant Pot pot roasts and a couple of whole roast chicken recipes.
