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)

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Method
 

  1. Generously season the roast on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Add the roast to the Instant Pot.
  3. In a bowl, mix together gravy mix packets, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
  4. Pour gravy mixture in the bottom of the Instant Pot (try to not wash the seasonings off the roast).
  5. Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot. Move valve to SEALING (not venting).
  6. 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).
  7. 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).
  8. Remove lid and remove roast from Instant Pot, then shred using 2 forks (it should fall apart fairly easily).
  9. 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).
  10. To serve, place some shredded roast on top of a thick slice of bread and then top with gravy (like an open-face sandwich).
