Instant Pot® Venison Pot Roast

Venison pot roast used to be a weekend only thing for me due to the 10 hours of slow cooking it took to get it tender. Then there was the guess work of when to add the veggies. If you added them in the beginning, they became mush. If you waited too long to add them, they were underdone and to get them done, the venison got overdone. Instant Pot® to the rescue! The end result is perfectly tender venison roast and perfectly crisp-tender veggies, all in 3 hours.

Step: 1

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add olive oil and let heat for 1 minute. Place venison roast in the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes. Flip roast over and sear for 2 minutes more. Cancel Saute mode.

Place water in a small bowl and add beef stew seasoning; whisk until seasoning is dissolved. Pour mixture over the roast.

Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 120 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.

Step: 5
