Notes

Instant Pot Directions:  Follow the same directions for assembling and pressure cook on high for 60-80 minutes depending on the size of your roast. You may want to sear your meat prior to cooking with this method.
Oven Directions: How long to cook a roast at 350F will depend on the size of your roast.  For a 3-lb cut you will cook it in the oven anywhere from 2 to 2 ½ hours.
Storage: store cooked beef and vegetables in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Freezer Directions: Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
