Preparation

Step 1

1.) Brown Chuck Roast Steak: Heat up Instant Pot using Sauté More function. Wait until it says HOT (~8 mins). Pat dry the chuck roast steak and lightly season one side with salt + black pepper. Drizzle the inner pot with 1 tbsp olive oil. Then, place the seasoned side of chuck roast in Instant Pot. Lightly season the other side with more salt + black pepper.

*Pro Tip: Brown each side for 10 minutes to develop some awesome deep flavors.

2.) Saute Onion & Garlic: Set browned chuck roast aside. Add in sliced onions, then saute until softened (~3 - 4 mins). Set aside roughly ⅓ of the softened onions for later. Add in minced garlic, a pinch of dried rosemary, a pinch of thyme, and 2 bay leaves. Saute for another minute.

*Pro Tip: Your Instant Pot will stop sauteeing after 30 minutes, turn it back on by pressing "Saute" button.

3.) Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup unsalted stock in Instant Pot, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

4.) Pressure Cook Chuck Roast: Add in 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, and 1 tbsp
Worcestershire sauce. Give it a quick mix. Place browned chuck roast back in Instant Pot and partially submerge it into the liquid as best as you can. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 45 minutes + 25 minutes Natural Release.

5.) Simmer Au Jus Sauce & Shred Beef: Set aside chuck roast in a mixing bowl, and shred the beef with 2 forks. While you are shredding the beef, bring Au Jus sauce back to a boil with the "Saute" function. Add in reserved onions, then let the Au Jus sauce reduce for 5 - 10 minutes. Taste & adjust seasoning accordingly.

*Pro Tip: Reducing the Au Jus sauce will naturally thicken it. If you find the Au Jus sauce to be too oily, you can use a Fat Separator to filter out the fat.
