Sunday Roast
2-2.5 pound Beef Roast
1 package of brown gravy mix, dry
1 can beef broth soup
1 can french onion soup
1 dry packet of dried Lipton onion soup
1 cup water
In the Instant Pot:
Press the Saute button on the Instant Pot. Add a couple tablespoons of olive oil to the pot, and sear the outsides of the roast until brown. Add the beef broth, french onion soup, onion soup mix, and brown gravy to the pot. Give it a quick stir and seal the lid. Switch the Instant Pot to manual and set the timer to 60-80 minutes, depending on the size of the Roast (20 minutes per pound). Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes, before quick releasing the rest of the pressure. Slice and serve.
In the Crock Pot:
In a frying pan over medium high heat, add a few tablespoons of olive oil. Sear the outsides of the roast until brown. Transfer the roast to the crock pot and all of the remaining ingredients. Place the lid on and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
In the Oven:
Preheat oven to 325.
Place a dutch oven pan on the stove top and heat to medium high heat. Add a couple tablespoons of olive oil to the pan, and sear the outsides of the roast until brown. Add the remaining ingredients to the dutch oven.
Place the dutch oven in the oven, covered, and cook for 3 hours.
