This recipe comes from a little pressure cooker cookbook by Joanna White. I love the idea of the cider and molasses! This recipe does have to marinate 24 hours. I recommend chuck roast over bottom round or rump roast which can be dry. If your p.c. didn't come with a trivet, improvise with a small steamer rack or other object that will raise the roast off of the bottom of the pot and not restrict steam flow. If a 6 lb roast is too much, you can 1/2 the recipe and adjust the cooking time. A 3 lb roast will cook in 35 - 45 minutes. Ingredients:
2 cups apple cider |
2 tablespoons light molasses |
2 teaspoons salt |
8 allspice berries |
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
6 lbs beef, chuck roast |
4 large onions, quartered |
4 stalks celery, coarsely chopped |
1/4 cup butter |
3 tablespoons cornstarch or 3 tablespoons arrowroot |
3 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. Mix apple cider, molasses, salt, allspice, peppercorns, garlic and ginger together.
2. Place beef, onions and celery in a large dish and pour apple cider mixture over meat and vegetables.
3. Cover, refrigerate and marinate for 24 hours.
4. Remove meat from marinade and wipe dry.
5. Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown pot roast very well on all sides.
6. Place the pressure cooker trivet in the cooder and place meat on top.
7. Pour in marinade and vegetable and bring to a boil.
8. Seal cooker, bring up to high pressure, reduce heat to stablize pressure and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
9. Remove cooker from heat and relase pressure.
10. Strain out meat and vegetable, reserving juices.
11. Return strained juices to cooker and bring to a boil.
