Method

  1. In a small bowl, mix together flour, salt, and pepper.

  2. Use a paper towel to pat the chuck roast dry. Sprinkle the flour mixture all over the roast, gently pressing it onto the meat to ensure it sticks.

  3. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function. Add oil to the pot and allow it to heat up. Place the roast in the hot oil and cook without turning until it is browned (about 3 minutes). Then, turn the roast to brown each side for about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to a plate.

  4. Add onion, garlic, and minced rosemary to the pot. Cook and stir frequently until the onion becomes translucent (about 6 minutes). Add beef stock, wine, and tomato paste to the pot. Simmer while using a wooden spoon to scrape off the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the roast to the pot and add the bay leaf.

  5. Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker. Select the Meat/Stew function and set the timer for 40 minutes.

  6. Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions (about 5 minutes). Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer the roast to a plate, cover it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes.

  7. Add carrots, pearl onions, and celery to the pot.
