"Join the Culinary Adventure: Cooking a Savory Chuck Roast with Vibrant Veggies and Rich Gravy"

Let's embark on a culinary adventure together! We'll be bringing to life a mouthwatering 3-4 pound chuck roast, seasoned with a perfect blend of 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper.

For a rich, flavorful base, we'll be using 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or olive oil, sautéed with 1 diced medium yellow onion. Adding depth to our dish, we'll incorporate 2 cups of beef broth or beef stock, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.

To elevate the flavor, we'll include 1 teaspoon each of dried rosemary and thyme, and throw in 2 bay leaves. Not forgetting the hearty accompaniment of 1 pound of baby potatoes, halved, and 3 large chunky carrots.

And for a velvety finish, we'll create a corn starch slurry using 3 tablespoons of corn starch mixed with 3 tablespoons of cold water.

Ready to give it a go? Here's how to bring this delightful dish to fruition:

1. Cut the beef into 3 (1lb) portions and season with salt and pepper.

2. Set your Instant Pot to SAUTE setting, and when it's hot, sear the roast on all sides (2-3 minutes per side) in oil...

3. ...The steps continue until we end up with a beautiful platter of tender beef and veggies, drizzled with rich gravy, garnished with parsley, and served with crusty bread.

So put on your apron, get your ingredients ready, and let's cook up a storm together. Enjoy your cooking journey!
