How To Make stracotto-italian pot roast (pressure cooker)

  • Step 1
    In a 6-quart pressure cooker, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the roast and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 2
    Pour off fat in pressure cooker. Add remaining oil and heat over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery and garlic. Saute about 2 minutes, stirring. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add tomatoes and their juices.
  • Step 3
    Return meat to pan along with any juices that have collected. Lock lid in place. Bring to pressure over high heat.
  • Step 4
    Adjust heat to maintain the pressure. Cook for 1 1/4 hours.
  • Step 5
    Remove from heat and quick-release the pressure. Open lid. Place meat on platter and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Skim any fat from the surface of the sauce. Slice meat and serve with sauce.
