Cooking pot roast from frozen is one of the most frequent requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is adapted from our friend Sabrina\u2019s new cookbook, Dinner Then Dessert.<\/a> (There’s a reason it’s on the cover!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Pot Roast from Frozen in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Pressure Cooker Pot Roast<\/strong> recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabrina’s recipe for a 3-ingredient pot roast in the new cookbook is amazingly good. So naturally, we had to adapt it to the pressure cooker for this recipe. Whether you make it on the stove using the recipe in her book, or give it a spin in the Instant Pot, you won’t be disappointed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because this is a three-ingredient recipe, the quality of the ingredients is key. Use a good red wine that you love the taste of. I recommend something dry, such as a cabernet, so your gravy doesn’t end up tasting too sweet. If you prefer not to cook with alcohol, you can substitute beef broth for the wine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also important to choose a good marinara sauce. We like Rao’s brand. But you could also make your own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Cook Pot Roast from Frozen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The #1 question on our traditional Instant Pot pot roast recipe<\/a> is “how do you cook pot roast from frozen?” And here you have the answer: simply dump your ingredients into the pressure cooker, turn it on to high pressure, and walk away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because this is a dense cut of meat, a frozen roast will take an hour and 45 minutes to cook through so it’s super tender. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We generally prefer to brown our beef before pressure cooking. However, if you’re cooking a frozen roast, you have to skip this step. That’s where the flavorful marinara and red wine come in–the extra flavor they add makes it so you don’t miss the browning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More about Dinner Then Dessert<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sabrina runs and is one of the hardest working food bloggers I know! She runs Dinner Then Dessert<\/a> (I have a soft spot for her dessert section<\/a>, and she has an excellent slow cooker section.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am *thrilled* to have her cookbook, which shares a name with her blog. As she says in her book “the recipes are practical and flexible. They’re also flavor-packed and fun.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cover<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are over 100 recipes that use 3, 5, or 7 ingredients (not including salt, pepper, butter or oil). While the book isn’t specific to pressure cooking, it is full of fast and flavorful recipes that are perfect for weeknights, including this from-frozen pot roast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also includes a section on stocking your pantry that is full of tips and information–for instance, for this roast she talks about the importance of using an evenly marbled cut of meat that’s a traditional chuck roast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re in the market for a gift for a busy cook this holiday season this cookbook is a fun option. We have a great guide on How to Convert a recipe into a Pressure Cooker Recipe<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
