Step 1

Turn the instant pot on saute mode and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to sizzle before adding the meat.

Step 2

Place the bottom round roast into the instant pot and sear on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side and rotate once it easily releases.

Step 3

Once the meat is fully browned on all sides, place the flat bottom side down and add in the seasonings and broth or water.

Step 4

Place the instant pot lid on and set it to sealing. Cook on high pressure and set the time for 60 minutes. Once the instant pot is done cooking let the instant pot naturally release for 10 minutes. Carefully quick release anytime after the 10 minutes have elapsed.

Step 5

Remove the meat from the instant pot and set it on a cutting board. Allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding. Once cut, return it back to the instant pot. Place the lid on and set it to sealing. Cook for another 10 minutes to allow the broth to cook into the sliced meat.

Step 6

Carefully quick release after the instant pot is done and then serve the meat with the broth over rice, buttered noodles, or mashed potatoes.
