-
Brown Beef Roast in Instant Pot: Press "Saute" button to "Sauté More" to heat up Instant Pot. Wait until it says "HOT" (~8 mins). Add 1 tbsp olive oil (15ml) in Instant Pot. Ensure the whole bottom is coated with oil.
*Note: A beef roast has 6 sides, and we are only browning 4 sides excluding both ends.
Pat dry the beef with a paper towel. Generously season one side of the beef with kosher salt and black pepper. Place the beef roast in Instant Pot (seasoned side face down), then brown for 4 mins. Generously season the other side with salt and black pepper, then brown this side for 3 mins and 30 secs. Finally, brown the other 2 sides for 2 mins and 30 secs (no need to add more seasoning). Set aside the browned beef roast.
-
Saute Onion and Garlic: Add 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil in Instant Pot. Add in sliced onions, then saute for 3 mins. Add in 2 bay leaves, ¼ tsp (0.3g) dried rosemary, and minced garlic, then saute for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup (250ml) unsalted chicken/beef stock in Instant Pot, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Give it a quick mix.
-
Pressure Cook Roast Beef: Add in 1 tbsp (15ml) regular soy sauce. Give it a quick mix. Place steamer rack in Instant Pot, then layer the browned beef on the steamer rack. Close lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing position.
For 2.5" Thick Beef: Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 3 minutes + 25 minutes Natural Release
For 3.25" Thick Beef: Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 3 minutes + 30 minutes Natural Release
*Note: Make sure your Instant Pot is in the "Keep Warm" mode during Natural Release.
Open the lid, then measure the temperature of the roast's thickest part with a meat thermometer.
*Pro Tip: For medium-rare roast beef, aim for 120°F. If the temperature is too low, place the roast beef back in Instant Pot on the trivet, then close the lid. Use the "Keep Warm" mode to continue to slow roast the beef. The temperature should rise 7°F - 10°F per 5 minutes.
*Note: The thicker your beef roast, the longer it takes for your roast beef to reach the desired temperature. Keep checking the temperature every 5 - 10 minutes depending on the size of your roast.
-
Make Roast Beef Gravy: Once the roast beef has reached 120°F, remove and set aside on a chopping board. Loosely wrap the roast beef with aluminum foil & let it rest for 8 - 10 minutes.
While the roast beef is resting, bring the beef sauce to a simmering with "Saute" function. Taste the gravy and decide if you need to add another tbsp of soy sauce or not.
Mix 1.5 tbsp (12g) all-purpose flour with 3 tbsp (45ml) water. Mix flour mixture into the beef gravy one third at a time until desired thickness. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if necessary.
-
Serve Roast Beef: After resting, slice your roast beef against the grain.
For Round of Eye Roast: slice it as thin as you can (deli-style roast beef).
For Top Sirloin Roast: slice it into steak size.
Serve this classic Instant Pot Roast Beef and Gravy with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy~
Which Cut of Beef to Use? Round of Eye Roast is great for making deli-style cold cut roast beef; Top Sirloin Roast is great for making medium-rare steak-size roast beef.
*Browning Beef in Instant Pot: Your Instant Pot's inner pot should look quite brown after browning the beef. Don't worry! Your pot didn't burn, those caramelized brown bits add yummy flavors to your roast beef.
*Slow Roasting Beef: From our four temperature tests in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, it is fine to open and close the lid to check the temperature. The temperature at "Keep Warm" mode is great for slow roasting the roast beef in Instant Pot.

Step-by-Step Instant Pot Roast Beef Cooking Guide
Prepare ingredients for cooking Instant Pot Roast Beef and Gravy. The ingredients are quite simple and preparations are easy.
1
Brown Beef Roast in Instant Pot
Press "Saute" button to "Sauté More" function to heat up Instant Pot. It will switch to "ON" on the screen.
Wait until it says "HOT" on the screen (takes roughly 8 minutes).
*Pro Tip: Make sure Instant Pot is as hot as it can be in order to induce a Maillard reaction.
Add 1 tbsp olive oil (15ml) in the Instant Pot's inner pot. Ensure the whole bottom is coated with olive oil.
*Note: In total, there are 6 sides to a beef roast. We are browning 4 sides of the beef roast excluding both ends (the two ends that are parallel to how you're slicing into the roast).
Pat dry the beef roast with paper towel. Generously season one side of the beef roast with kosher salt and black pepper.
Place the beef roast in Instant Pot (with the seasoned side facing down).
Brown the first side for 4 minutes. Generously season the other side with salt and black pepper.
Brown that side for 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
Finally, brown the other 2 sides for 2 minutes and 30 seconds per side (no need to add more seasoning).
Set aside the browned beef roast.
2
Saute Onion and Garlic
*Note: Your Instant Pot's inner pot should look quite brown. Don't worry! Your pot didn't burn, those caramelized brown bits add yummy flavors to your roast beef. 🙂
Add in one more tbsp (15ml) olive oil. Add in sliced onions, then saute for 3 minutes.
Add in 2 bay leaves, ¼ tsp (0.3g) dried rosemary, and minced garlic in Instant Pot. Saute for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
3
Deglaze Instant Pot
Pour 1 cup (250ml) unsalted chicken stock or high quality unsalted beef stock in Instant Pot, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Give it a quick mix.
4
Pressure Cook Roast Beef
Add in 1 tbsp (15ml) regular soy sauce. Give it a quick mix.
*Note: We're adding the other tablespoon of soy sauce after pressure cooking.
Place a trivet in Instant Pot, then layer the browned roast beef in Instant Pot on the trivet.
Close lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing position.
- For 2.5″ Thick Roast Beef: Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 3 minute + 25 minutes Natural Release
- For 3.25″ Thick Roast Beef: Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 3 minute + 30 minutes Natural Release
Open the lid, then measure the roast beef's temperature at its' thickest part with a meat thermometer.
*Pro Tip: For medium rare roast beef, we are aiming for 120°F. If the temperature is too low, simply place the roast beef back in Instant Pot on the trivet, then close the lid. Do not pressure cook again because we're using the "Keep Warm" mode to slow roast the beef roast. The temperature should rise 7°F – 10°F per 5 minutes.
*Note: The thicker your beef roast, the longer it'll take to reach the desired temperature. Keep in mind that if your beef roast is much thicker than the one we used to develop our recipe, it may take a much longer "Keep Warm" time. Keep checking the temperature every 5 – 10 minutes depending on the size of your roast.
*Pro Tip: From our four temperature tests in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, it is fine to open and close the lid to check the temperature, and the "Keep Warm" mode is great for slow roasting the roast beef in Instant Pot.
5
Make Roast Beef Gravy
Once the roast beef has reached 120°F, remove and set aside on a chopping board.
Loosely wrap the roast beef with aluminum foil & let it rest for 8 – 10 minutes before slicing (*Note: The temperature will continue to rise while resting).
While the roast beef is resting, bring the beef sauce to a simmering with the "Saute" function.
Taste the roast beef gravy to make sure it is not too salty before adding another tbsp of regular soy sauce.
*Pro Tip: If the beef gravy is too salty, don't add any more soy sauce at this step.
Mix 1.5 tbsp (12g) all purpose flour with 3 tbsp (45ml) water.
Mix flour mixture into the beef gravy in Instant Pot one third at a time until desired thickness.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if necessary.
6
Serve Instant Pot Roast Beef
After 8 – 10 minutes rest, your Instant Pot Roast Beef is ready to be sliced 🙂
*Pro Tip: Cut pressure cooker roast beef against the grain for best result.
For Round of Eye Roast: you will want to slice it as thin as you can (deli style roast beef).
For Top Sirloin Roast: you can slice it into steak size.
Serve this classic Instant Pot Roast Beef and Gravy with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy~
