Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons neutral oil
- 3–4 pounds boneless beef shoulder roast
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 fennel bulb, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
- 1 cup white apple vinegar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 3 bay leaves
- 3–4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 large rosemary sprig
- 1 cup chicken stock
Instructions
- Start by searing the beef roast halves on the stovetop. Heat a large fry pan over medium-high heat and add two tablespoons of the oil when the pan is hot. Brown the beef roast on all sides for about 10-12 minutes total, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the Instant Pot, select the Sauté function and add the remaining tablespoon of neutral oil once it's hot. Add sliced fennel and onion; cook for 1 minute until slightly softened. Stir in smashed garlic and cook for about 15 seconds until fragrant. Deglaze with white apple vinegar.
- Stir in Dijon mustard; cook for an additional minute. Add bay leaves, thyme sprigs, rosemary sprig, chicken stock, along with seared beef shoulder and any juices collected on the plate.
- Secure the lid on your pressure cooker and set timer to cook for 45 minutes. Once cooking time is complete, turn off the pressure cooker and let it naturally release for 15 minutes before performing a quick release.
- Carefully remove the beef roast from the pot and let it rest on a platter for about 10 minutes before slicing.
