Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

Beef and Seasonings

  • 2-3 pound beef rump roast, (or any beef roast)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • garlic powder, to taste
  • onion powder, to taste

Gravy Mixture

  • 2 packets beef gravy mix, (1 ounce each)
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • cups beef broth

For Serving

  • 6 slices thick slices of bread, (for serving; I love using sourdough bread)

Instructions
 

  • Generously season the roast on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Add the roast to the Instant Pot.
  • In a bowl, mix together gravy mix packets, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
  • Pour gravy mixture in the bottom of the Instant Pot (try to not wash the seasonings off the roast).
  • Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot. Move valve to SEALING (not venting).
  • Press MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 40 minutes for a 2 pound roast or 60 minutes for a 3 pound roast (about 20 minutes per pound of meat).
  • When cooking is done, allow roast to do a natural release (at least 30 minutes – the longer you can let it sit, the better. Sometimes I will let a roast stay on KEEP WARM for a few hours).
  • Remove lid and remove roast from Instant Pot, then shred using 2 forks (it should fall apart fairly easily).
  • Stir the gravy left in the pot (it should have thickened up a little bit during cooking time, but if you want it to be thicker, you can mix together 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 teaspoon water and then add it in to the gravy and stir until it thickens up).
  • To serve, place some shredded roast on top of a thick slice of bread and then top with gravy (like an open-face sandwich).
