Ingredients
- 1 chuck roast, approx. 3 lbs.
- 16 oz jar sliced pepperoncini peppers, with juices (If you prefer something less spicy, use a jar of pickled banana pepper rings instead)
Instructions
- Pour half of the jar of pepperoncini and their juices into the Instant Pot; add the roast to the pot, then pour the remaining pepperonincini and juices over the roast.
- Lock the Instant Pot lid into place. Using the high pressure setting, set the timer for 60 minutes, bringing the Instant Pot to full pressure. (Allow 15-20 minutes pressure cooking time for each pound of uncooked roast. If you are cooking the roast from frozen, increase the pressure cooking time to 25-30 minutes per pound of roast, still using the natural release.)
- When the timer sounds, perform a natural release, which allows the pressure in the Instant Pot to naturally come down on it's own. Open the Instant Pot and test the roast - the beef should be very fork-tender.
- Remove the beef from the Instant Pot to a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the beef to eat as desired.
Notes
Yes, this roast still takes 60 minutes in the Instant Pot... but it's not 4-5 hours like a slow cooker or oven pot roast.
**If you are cooking the roast from frozen, increase the pressure cooking time to 25-30 minutes per pound of roast, still using the natural release when the timer sounds.
