Ingredients
 

  • 3 pounds rump roast
  • Montreal Steak Seasoning to taste
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 10.5 ounces can Campbell’s Condensed French Onion Soup
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 pounds small Yukon Gold or red potatoes cut in half and skin on

Instructions
 

  • Unpackage the rump roast and allow it to rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. Don’t skip this step – it allows the beef to rest and relax so it can cook more easily and evenly.

  • Cut the roast into 5 chunks, then season each chunk on all sides with the steak seasoning.

  • Add the tomato paste to the Instant Pot, then stir in the can of soup and water; place the seasoned pieces of roast into the soup mixture, then top the meat with the potatoes.

  • Choose the high pressure setting, then set the timer to 30 minutes, bringing the Instant Pot to full pressure.
  • When the Instant Pot timer sounds, use a natural pressure release for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes of natural release time, if any pressure remains, perform a quick release to remove it from the Instant Pot.
  • Remove the meat and potatoes from the Instant Pot to a platter. Use a spoon to skim the fat from the surface of the sauce in the pot, or place the sauce into a fat separator to separate the fat from the sauce to make a delicious gravy. (Toss the fat or save as a treat for your dogs.)
  • Serve the roast with potatoes on the side, all drizzled with the warm gravy.
