How do you cook a top round roast in pressure cooker?

Cooking a Top Round Roast in a Pressure Cooker:

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 60-90 minutes

Total Time: 75-105 minutes

Ingredients:

* 1.5-2 lb top round roast

* 1 tbsp olive oil

* 1 onion, chopped

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 cup beef broth

* 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional)

* 1 tsp dried thyme

* 1/2 tsp salt

* 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment:

* Pressure cooker

* Cutting board

* Knife

* Measuring cups and spoons

* Small bowl

* Whisk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the roast: Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

2. Brown the roast: Heat the olive oil in the pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned. Remove the roast from the pressure cooker and set aside.

3. Sauté the vegetables: Add the onion and garlic to the pressure cooker and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the broth and seasonings: Stir in the beef broth, red wine (if using), thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

5. Return the roast: Place the roast back in the pressure cooker. Ensure the roast is completely submerged in the liquid.

6. Pressure cook: Secure the pressure cooker lid and cook on high pressure for 60-90 minutes, depending on the size of the roast and desired level of doneness.

7. Natural pressure release: Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10-15 minutes. Then, release the remaining pressure manually.

8. Rest and slice: Remove the roast from the pressure cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

* Adjust the cooking time: For a medium-rare roast, cook for 60 minutes. For medium, cook for 75 minutes. For well-done, cook for 90 minutes.

* Use a meat thermometer: Check the internal temperature of the roast to ensure it reaches your desired level of doneness.

* Deglaze the pan: After removing the roast, deglaze the pressure cooker with a little red wine or beef broth to create a delicious sauce.

* Serve with sides: This roast pairs well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
