Instant Pot Chuck Roast is a simple yet delicious recipe that your family will love! The tender meat and amazing sauce will make this dish a family favorite!

We love Instant Pot Beef recipes! Some of our favorites include Instant Pot Roast Beef and Slow Cooker Beef and Sweet Potato Stew.

INSTANT POT CHUCK ROAST

Chuck Roast is one of those wonderful dishes that lets you turn an inexpensive cut of meat into a tender, juicy roast that everyone loves. This tends to take a lot of time, though, as this cut works well with low and slow cooking techniques.

As much as I adore my slow cooker, I just don’t always have time to cook a chuck roast for hours on end. That’s why I love my Instant Pot! Whether I’m cooking a roast for Sunday dinner or whipping up a quick weeknight dinner after a busy day, I can have my Instant Pot Chuck Roast ready in a fraction of the time.

And the sauce…oh my word. The Honey BBQ sauce that goes with this roast is amazing!

WHAT IS CHUCK ROAST?

There are so many different types of roasts that it can become difficult to keep track of them all. They don’t look much different in the meat case, so why all the different cuts (and prices)?

Chuck roast is a cut from the shoulder area, which means that it receives plenty of exercises! This results in a cut with both a lot of flavors and a lot of connective tissue. Basically, you get a very flavorful cut for a very reasonable price, but the tradeoff is that the meat needs to be cooked for a longer amount of time to become tender.

Normally, this would be done in a slow cooker or in the oven, but your Instant Pot is also an amazing way to cook a chuck roast! Pressure cooking allows the same results but in a fraction of the time. It’s a win-win situation – lots of flavor for little money and quick cooking time!

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH INSTANT POT CHUCK ROAST?

This tender, hearty roast has a sauce that’s packed with flavor, so you really don’t have to make much to go along with it! Cheesy Garlic Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes or Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes would go beautifully. Add a quick salad or steamed vegetable and you’re good to go!

WILL INSTANT POT CHUCK ROAST FREEZE WELL?

Instant Pot Chuck Roast will freeze very well! If you have leftovers, just package them up in a freezer bag or airtight container and they’ll be ready whenever you want to use them. If you make potatoes to go with it, I would not recommend freezing them as they tend to discolor and take on an odd flavor.

The chuck roast and sauce freeze well though, and are great for sandwiches, quick meals, casseroles, and more!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
