Hit The Roast Jack
Coffee Roast Rub
- 2-3 pounds grass-fed beef chuck roast, 2-3 inches thick
- 2 tbsp Healthy On You® Hit the Roast Jack Coffee Roast Rub
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups pearl onions, sliced
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 2 medium carrots, chopped in large chunks
- 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
- 1 cup low sodium beef stock
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce (I use Red Boat brand)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp red table wine
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh rosemary, thyme and 2 bay leaves
- 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (to thicken the sauce)
Directions
- Wash and pat the chuck roast dry with a paper towel. Season with kosher salt and pepper sprinkled on both sides and rub in gently. Sprinkle with the Hit the Roast Jack spice blend. Cover the entire roast and let rest for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the fridge.
- When ready to cook: heat up Instant Pot using Sauté function.
- Add the olive oil to the Instant Pot and then add the roast.
- Brown roast for 5 minutes per side; then remove and set browned roast aside.
- Sauté the pearl onions and garlic until softened.
- Add the red wine to deglaze the pot. Stir and scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon.
- Add the stock, soy sauce, fish sauce, all the fresh herbs, cranberries and vegetables to the Instant Pot. Taste the seasoning and add more salt and pepper if desired.
- Place the chuck roast and all its meat drippings in the Instant Pot.
- With Venting Knob in Venting Position, close the lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Pressure cook at High Pressure for 45 minutes + Full Natural Release (25 minutes). Open the lid carefully.
- Remove the roast gently from the pot and set aside.
- Taste the gravy again, then adjust the seasoning if necessary. Mix 1 ½ tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water, then mix it into the gravy one third at a time until desired thickness.
- Cut the roast against the grain and add a serving to each plate. Top with the thickened sauce and vegetables. Serve by itself or with a side of spinach or brown rice
