Pot roast is a classic American beef roast loved by many families. It’s made with simple pantry ingredients such as beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, and herbs. Served with a rich gravy.
Traditionally, it’s made by slow cooking a tough cut of beef (i.e. chuck roast) at low temperature for a long time. This will break down the tough connective tissues. And the best pot roast comes out tender, juicy, and full of hearty flavors.
If your roast is tough in the Instant Pot, it likely needs to be cooked longer. Chuck roast will become more tender the longer it cooks, so extra time may be needed. However, you can overcook beef in the Instant Pot, so keep an eye on it if you add extra time.

Test #3: 75 Minutes Pot Roast
- Meat Texture: overcooked beef – super tender, but dry
- Meat Juice: meat juice have mostly gone to the sauce. So if you don’t eat the roast with the sauce, the meat is dry. Some people call this the distinct “pressure cooker taste”.
- Meat Flavors: not much flavor because the beefy flavors have mostly gone to the sauce
- Sauce: super flavorful sauce with depths of flavors; amazing sauce
Amy + Jacky’s Notes: Since this 75 Minutes Pot Roast is already overcooked, we didn’t go further to test chuck roast in Instant Pot with 90 minutes pressure cooking time.
