How To Make Our Instant Pot Texas Roadhouse Pot Roast Recipe:
When you are ready to make this Texas Roadhouse copycat recipe, start by pouring the beef broth into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Then, take the chuck roast out of the packaging and season all of the sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
After the roast has been well seasoned, place it in the bottom of the Instant Pot along with placing the diced onions, diced green peppers, diced celery, and minced garlic on the roast and all around it in the Instant Pot.
Next you will pour the tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and bouillon cubes on top of the roast.
Once all of the sauce has been added to the roast, top it with the dried thyme and rosemary.
Now, place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and then make sure the valve is in the SEALING position.
After the lid is set, press the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK button and set the timer for 65 minutes.
COOKING NOTE: We pick the time based on the weight of the meat. You will cook the meat for 20-25 minutes per pound of meat.
After the timer is done, let the Intant Pot do a NATURAL RELEASE of the pressure in the Instant Pot. You will know it has all been released after the pin drops down.
Feel free to let the roast sit in the Instant Pot on the warm setting for a few hours as it will only add to the tenderness of the roast!
Once you are ready to serve, remove the roast from the Instant Pot, slice it, and serve it with your favorite sides!

We like to use a chuck roast or rump roast – they are not only less expensive, but cook awesome in the Instant Pot.

What do I do with the beef bouillon cubes?
Where are the 2 beef bouillon cubes used. It doesn’t say in the recipe.
This sounds amazing. Any thoughts on how to do it in a crockpot? I usually make my mashed potatoes in the instant pot so I’d like to try the roast in my crockpot. Thanks!
You could definitely do this in the slow cooker. Low and slow is the best way to cook a roast.
Place them on top of the roast after you add the Worcestershire sauce.
Place them on top of the roast after you add the Worcestershire sauce.
Just noticed that the ingredients list calls for an orange pepper but the instructions say to add a green pepper… Does it matter which kind of pepper?
Add the kind of pepper you like the most. Either will work great.
The flavor was great, I do wish I had let it sit longer than the extra 60 min. Next time I will make much earlier.
Can you make this as a freezer meal? If so how would you do that?
This should work great as a freezer meal. Just dump everything in your freezer bag instead of the Instant Pot. Freeze. Just remember that a frozen roast should be cooked under pressure for 25-30 minutes per lb.
Hi so how long would you cook in a slow cooker?
We love to cook roasts low and slow in the slow cooker. 7-8 hours on low should be great.
did you make the gravy with the drippings for the roast? Just wondering how much you have to work with (if any) when you are done. Thanks, looks yummy, although I can’t eat peppers, but I am sure it will only change it a bit.
You can make gravy with the drippings. If you don’t have enough liquid for a big amount of gravy, you would need make your own gravy.
What about adding potatoes and carrots in so they cook in the juice? How would I do that?
You can add the carrots and potatoes in at the same time as the roast, depending on how cooked you like your vegetables. I would cut them into larger chunks. Or you can cook the beef half way, do a quick release and then add the vegetables in, and set the timer to cook for the second half of the time. This will make for a slightly firmer vegetable. I hope this makes sense.
this does look delicious, but Texas Roadhouse doesn’t offer a roast beef?
You’re correct! This is a copycat recipe that is a Texas Roadhouse-style pot roast
