Steps:
- Sprinkle the chuck roast with flour that has been generously seasoned with salt and pepper. With the cooker's lid off, heat oil on HIGH or "brown," until sizzling. Place the floured roast in the cooker and brown on each side. Add the beef broth, vinegar, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to the cooker (MAKE IT BETTER-Optional-Add ¼ cup of a dry red wine to the cooker in step 3, which gives an even meatier flavor). Securely lock the cooker's lid and set for 75 minutes on HIGH (85 minutes for roasts more than 2 ½ inches thick). Perform a quick release to release the cooker's pressure. Add the potatoes, onion, carrots, and celery to the pot, re-secure the cooker's lid, and set for 5 minutes on HIGH. Let the cooker's pressure release naturally 10 minutes before quick releasing any remaining pressure. Carefully transfer roast and vegetables to a serving dish and cover with aluminum foil. Set the cooker to HIGH or "brown" with lid off and whisk the cornstarch and water into the cooking liquid. Let simmer 2 minutes to thicken before stirring in butter. Smother meat and vegetables with the gravy before serving.
GORDON'S POT ROAST
Steps:
- Chop onion and mince garlic. Peel carrots and parsnips and diagonally cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Peel turnips and cut into 3/4-inch-thick wedges. Cut mushrooms into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Peel gingerroot and mince enough to measure 1/4 cup. Drain tomatoes and chop.
- Pat chuck roast dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 5-quart heavy kettle heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown roast on all sides. Transfer roast to a plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from kettle. Add onion to kettle and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until golden. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add Port and red wine and simmer, scraping up any brown bits on bottom of kettle, 5 minutes. Stir in broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, gingerroot, tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, and oregano and bring mixture to a boil. Add roast, carrots, parsnips, turnips, and mushrooms and simmer, covered, turning roast over halfway through cooking time, 3 hours total, or until tender. Pot roast may be made up to this point 3 days ahead. Cool roast, uncovered, before chilling, covered, and remove any solidified fat before reheating.
- Transfer roast with tongs to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. If necessary skim fat from cooking liquid and bring cooking liquid and vegetables to a boil over moderate heat. In a small bowl stir together cornstarch and water until smooth and stir enough into sauce to thicken to desired consistency. Simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes.
- Cut roast crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on a deep platter. Spoon vegetables and sauce over meat. .
