Ingredients
- 3 lb sirloin roast
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Remove the sirloin roast from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature, which ensures more even cooking.
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels and generously season all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Set the Instant Pot to "Sauté" mode and heat olive oil until shimmering.
- Carefully sear the roast on all sides until a golden-brown crust forms, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. This step helps develop rich, deep flavors.
- Remove the roast from the pot and set aside on a plate.
- In the same pot, sauté chopped onions and minced garlic until fragrant and slightly translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes until they start to release their moisture.
- Pour beef broth into the pot, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits.
- Return the seared roast to the Instant Pot, placing it on top of the mushroom and onion mixture.
- Close the lid, set the valve to "Sealing", and cook on high pressure for 25-30 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
- Once cooking is complete, allow natural pressure release for 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the roast and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- While the roast rests, use the "Sauté" function to reduce and thicken the mushroom sauce if desired.
- Slice the roast and serve with the rich mushroom sauce spooned over the top.
Tips
- Bring it to Room Temperature: Before cooking, let your sirloin roast sit out for about 30 minutes. This helps it cook evenly, resulting in a perfectly tender roast.
- Sear for Flavor: Don’t skip the searing step! Browning the roast before pressure cooking not only enhances the flavor but also gives it a beautiful color.
- Scrape the Pot: When adding the beef broth, be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful browned bits. This adds depth to your mushroom sauce.
- Adjust Cooking Time: Depending on your desired doneness (rare, medium, or well done), adjust the cooking time to 25-30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Resting is Key: After cooking, let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is juicy and flavorful.
- Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, use the "Sauté" function after removing the roast to reduce the mushroom sauce to your liking.
- Serve with Sides: This roast pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
