A delicious and hearty pot roast recipe made in a pressure cooker, perfect for a comforting meal.
Season the beef roast with the seasoned salt and ground pepper.
Let the seasoned beef sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat the olive oil in the pressure cooker base over medium-high heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the beef to achieve a good sear.
Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned.
Turn the beef gently to avoid losing the seasoning.
Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion to the pressure cooker.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Pour in the water and Worcestershire sauce, and stir to combine.
Deglaze the bottom of the cooker to incorporate all the flavors.
Place the potato halves on top of the beef and add the bay leaves.
Arrange the potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
Lock the pressure cooker lid and bring to pressure over medium-high heat.
Ensure the lid is securely locked to maintain pressure.
Reduce the heat to maintain medium pressure and cook for 60 minutes.
Monitor the pressure cooker to ensure consistent pressure.
Allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the lid.
Natural release helps retain the moisture and tenderness of the beef.
Check the doneness of the beef and potatoes, and adjust if necessary.
If needed, cook for an additional 10 minutes under pressure.
Serve the pot roast with the vegetables and sauce, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
