    For a richer sauce/gravy, take out the beef and set aside – leave all veggies and liquid in the pot. Create a 1/1 corn starch slurry (usually 3 tbsp on corn starch to 3 tbsp of water) and add to the remaining liquid. Add a packet of au jus mix and put the instant pot on sautee, maybe 4-5 (out of 6), which is medium or medium high. Stir in the slurry and the au jus and let simmer for about 5 mins.

    You'll be left with a MUCH richer sauce.

    I always shred the beef on a cutting board, too, using two forks. I then place the shredded beef back into the pot with the gravy so it soaks up all that amazing sauce.

    I have the instant pot 8 quart duo, just FYI you do not have to cook your vegetables for 10 minutes after you cook your roast, and they can be cooked with your pot roast, and the good thing about the instant pot is that they never get mushy!!!

    Excellent video. Thank you for ALSO posting written instructions. Many times presenters recommend specific ingredients that are hard to catch even after repeated rewinds. The few Penzy spices offered on Amazon are very expensive but the "beef" spice is listed as "unavailable". I can’t believe you actually told us what was in the blend so we could try to replicate it. I bought the Duo 60 PLUS ($69 Amazon Black Friday) but tried to cancel in order to get the Duo 60 ($49) because it listed accessories. I bought the Duo w/1 minute to spare on Black Friday (panic unneeded as price remained for another week). I was informed the next day the PLUS had already shipped. So now I've been sent BOTH models & need to decide which to keep.

    I wanted the PLUS because it had the cake & eggs settings. But I didn’t get the model shown in the ad. The one I got also included a “sous vide” setting. It also had the steam trivet & condenser bowl so all that was missing was the spoons. Many YT presenters insist it’s not necessary to upgrade from the Duo as the manual (or "pressure cook") setting is what is most used. Today I will be getting my $17.99 Amazon order for 12 IP Accessories which includes the 3 pc Divided Steamer Baskets, Egg Rack, Egg Bites Mold, Silicone Spoon, 4 Magnetic Cheat Sheets (that attach to the pot), Food Tongs & Silicone.Spatula. It was a great price at $19.99 but when I put it in my cart it included a $2 coupon. This is the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M99XYGJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I did notice when you tasted the meat you then put the fork that you had put in your mouth back prodding the rest of the food. I have to say even my family would not like it if I had done the same. Other than that I enjoyed your video and have for the first time cooked a beef joint in my instant pot that I have only just been able to get here in England. I love it and have the 8 qt as I have a large family. I have been guessing the cooking time, but did not give enough time so the beef was still raw with blood oowzing out, so had to put it back again. I have just tested and it is cooked, so I have put my peas carrots runner beans and broccoli on top, but the Broccoli came out overcooked so I have done more separately in the microwave. Other than that I am very happy with it.

    I like the add sequence you follow. Other videos show adding veggies from the start and for me, they turned out mushy and dark colored. Yours looked wonderful. Thanks!
