    I dont know how to cook so you skipped too many steps or assumed we knew how to do things like brown meat. Wrong. Now I'm gonna watch someone that tells me step by step how to cook the roast that I received from butcher block. Maybe you can list the level of detail for those of us that dont know how to cook. Thanks anyway.

    Too vague… what’s the settings you used? Did you add some liquids? Pretty sure that’s a pressure cooker requirement….but nothing was shown.

    Poor teaching video. Many missed details beginning with the size of your IP and how much (olive) oil to use to brown (2 TBSP) the meat and generalized amount of time needed (4.5-5.5 mins) and beyond.

    Thumbs down

    That meat looks delicious. Can you fix a prime rib in the Hot Pot? My wife likes her meat well done but prime rib can be tough. She does not want to see any red. I like mine medium or medium rare. Thanks.

    Looks perfect. The way I like it. Parents used to make 7 bone in the slow cooker when I was young. Only roast I tried in my PC came out too dry. Think I picked a crappy cut, too lean of ? Thanks. Going to do a chuck roast this time.

    I'm not sure why people have been sucked into this 'instant pot' fad. A conventional pressure cooker is half the price and twice as easy to clean. Fewer parts with a conventional pressure cooker too. A simple gasket replacement once every 5-10 years, ( I use my pressure cooker every day) and possibly a leaking relief valve. Other than that, a roast cooked in a pressure cooker is the only way to go. The flavor is unbeatable, and a 'fall off the bone' roast can be ready in less than an hour. Slow cooking a piece of meat in a crock pot, especially beef with a little fat on it, makes it taste rancid by the time the meat begins to fall apart. About the only thing I use my old antiquated crock pots for is fermenting cabbage for sauerkraut.

    Oh my days!!! I just made this- so good, so good!! I also dumped some frozen mushroom in there and the sauce came out out of this world!! Currently reducing on the stove to thicken it out, but oh my god I wanna slap somebody it's so good! Not adding any liquids made the sauce the bomb as it's pretty much all meat juice and onion/mushroom juice. Yumm

    I have a Cosori pressure cooker, but followed this recipe pretty close, but did add some broth. Not a lot though, and it turned out really nice. Too much liquid would be like a pot roast, which I don't think a sirloin tip roast needs to be cooked like that. I like a roast you can slice up, not have it just fall apart. If I wanted that I would have bought a rump roast or something.

    Thanks for the video, looks delish.  People need to read comments. Everyone keeps asking if you have to add liquid, Stephanie did not and she mentions it turns out fine with liquids released from the veggies and meat.  Could you add 1 or 1 1/2 or liquid…sure you can.
