Grandma's Pressure Cooker Pot Roast

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 2 lbs sirloin tip roast (or chuck)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
• 4 baking potatoes, peeled
• 4 carrots, chopped into 2-inch pieces
• 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
• 3 cups water

Directions

1. 1

   Sprinkle salt and pepper on the roast.

2. 2

   Warm oil in a pressure cooker over medium high heat.

3. 3

   Add the roast and brown on both sides. Take it off the heat.

4. 4

   Pour Worcestershire sauce over the roast, and place the onion slices on top. Add potatoes and carrots. Pour in enough water to cover 1" above the roast.

5. 5

   Put the lid on and heat on high. When the pressure cooker reaches the proper temperature, the rocker will jiggle audibly.

6. 6

   Adjust the heat to low, or enough to maintain pressure, and keep a slow, steady rocking motion. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check on it by lifting the pot and shaking gently to make sure it doesn't cook dry.

7. 7

   Run the lid under cold water to help release the pressure before unsealing.
