Tips
- Dry Meat = Better Sear: Always pat your roast completely dry before seasoning to ensure a beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Don't Skip Searing: The searing step is crucial for developing deep, rich flavors. Take your time and get a nice color on all sides of the roast.
- Slice Against the Grain: For the most tender bites, always slice the roast perpendicular to the muscle fibers.
- Natural Pressure Release: Allowing the roast to naturally release pressure helps keep the meat tender and juicy.
- Customize Your Vegetables: Feel free to add other root vegetables like parsnips or potatoes for a complete one-pot meal.
- Leftovers Tip: This roast tastes even better the next day and makes incredible sandwiches or beef hash.
