3 Packet Roast Recipes

3 PACKET POT ROAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Trim the roast of any visible fat and place it in a slow cooker.
• Dump in the packets of seasoning and add 1 cup of water. Cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-5. (The meat will be more tender if you cook it on low.)
• About 2 hours before you want to eat add in whatever veggies you want (chopped potatoes, an onion, carrots, or celery). 20-30 minutes before eating, add about 2 more cups of warm water to the slow cooker and turn to high.
• Drain the juice from the slow cooker and skim off the fat. Add a cornstarch slurry (1 tbl cornstarch plus 1/4 cup water) to the juice and warm on the stove until it starts to thicken. It makes a wonderful a gravy. (Reserve at least half of the juice for the leftover meals.)

Steps:

• In a bowl, you will add your ranch, Italian mix, and brown gravy packets together. Stir and then seasoning your beef roast with some of the seasoning mix.
• Turn your Instant Pot to the saute and add in the oil. Once hot toss your roast in and sear both sides of the meat. Remove the roast. You just want to brown the outside not cook the roast fully.
• Add in your beef stock and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the Instant Pot to deglaze the pan.
• Return the roast and add in the rest of the packet seasoning. Place the lid on the Instant Pot making sure the valve is set to sealing.
• Pressure cook on high - manual setting for 1 hour and 10 minutes, followed by 15-minute natural release.
• Release any leftover pressure on the Instant Pot. Add in your carrots and potatoes, and place lid and cook for 13 minutes with a quick release. If you don't want to do veggies skip this step.
• Remove cooked pot roast (and vegetables), and then turn the saute feature on. In a bowl add your cold water with cornstarch and stir into the liquid. It will begin to thicken as it heats.
• Once the gravy is thick use it to pour over your three packet pot roast! Serve and enjoy.
