Sunday Pot roast is on the menu today. It really doesn’t matter what day it is, it’s always a good day for Pot Roast. I thought since I have the 3Qt. Mini Instant Pot
How to Make a Pot Roast in the 3 Qt. Mini Instant Pot
My pot roast was 2.6 lbs. and I was a bit concerned if it would fit. No worries there, all I had to do is cut it in half.
For this recipe, all you need is your roast, salt, and pepper to taste and sauce of your choice. Whether you choose Chuck, sirloin or whatever cut you prefer, as mentioned we used chuck roast and it was 2.6lbs.
My husband picked up a 14.2 oz. of P.F. Changs Mongolian-style BBQ sauce. It was super! The secret is in the sauce.
After I cut the roast in two, seasoned both sides with salt and pepper, I added one cup of water to the pot, placed the meat on the trivet, and dumped the sauce on top. You can add onions, or peppers too if you like. I set the pot to the High Pressure/Pressure manual for 45 minutes. I let it naturally release and removed the roast to a platter to cool down a bit.
In the meantime, I had cut up some baby red potatoes and seasoned those with salt, pepper, and a little balsamic glaze. I added one cup of water to the pot, placed it down the trivet, and dumped my potatoes on top. Set to High Pressure again for 11 minutes and had some perfect potatoes to go with our roast.
The roast was mouth-watering tender and delicious.

Sunday Pot Roast in the Mini Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs chuck roast
- 1 bottle Mongolian beef sauce I used P.F. Changs Brand
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- First, cut your roast in half to fit in the mini. If you are making this is a larger pot, I still recommend cutting it in half, but it is not necessary.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper
- Place roast on a trivet rack. Add one cup of water to the Instant Pot
- Lower roast in the pot. You may add cut-up onions on top as well. Pour sauce over roast. DO NOT MIX, just let it sit on top of the roast.
- Set pot on High-Pressure Manual for 45 minutes. Let the pot come to natural release. Press the Quick-Release valve to release any leftover pressure.
- Remove roast and set on a platter. You don't need a knife to cut it, it should be falling apart! Enjoy!

Hi there! I could have sworn I’ve been to your blog before but after browsing through
a few of the articles I realized it’s new to
me. Nonetheless, I’m certainly delighted I stumbled upon it
and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back often!
Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared
to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware
of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about
worries that they plainly do not know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined
out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
You are so cool! I do not think I’ve truly read something like this
before. So great to find someone with some genuine thoughts on this topic.
Seriously.. thanks for starting this up. This website is one thing that’s needed on the internet, someone with a bit of originality!
Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i
own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot
of spam comments? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?
I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any support is very much
appreciated.
We do not have a way of automatically filtering comments. They each have to be hand approved. I hope you find a way to combat the spam that works best for you.
I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never
found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net
will be a lot more useful than ever before.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I truly appreciate your efforts and I am waiting for your
next, write ups thanks once again.
I have a pot roast that’s only about a pound and a half. Does the cooking time stay the same,?
That is ALOT of sodium over 5000 mg from adding the entire bottle of BBQ sauce.
