It started with the boss wanting pot roast. Which sparked my interest. But not just any roast -- I wanted like Mom's, fork tender and beefy. So I asked Dad. 'Pressure cooker' was his advice. A lot of failures, so I broke down and bought America's Test Kitchen's 'Pressure Cooker Perfection'. I can't begin to describe. . . The heavenly aromas. . . The sealed in beefy flavor. . . What the French onion soup mix did to the flavor. . . The tenderness of the potatoes. . . The brown gravy mix was all my doing-and the mushrooms made that so INCREDIBLE. . . I'm already planning my next roast

How To Make weeknight pot roast and potatoes

1
Whisk soup, broth, tomato paste, and porcini together in pressure-cooker pot, then lay sliced meat over top. Place potatoes on top of meat. Lock pressure-cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat. As soon as pot reaches high pressure, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 30 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to maintain high pressure.

2
Remove pot from heat and allow pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. Quick release any remaining pressure, then carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you.
3
Transfer meat and potatoes to platter. Add the brown gravy mix to the pot of juices. Over medium-high heat, whisk together until mixture starts to boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for one minute. Serve gravy with meat and potatoes.
