Notes

*UPDATED December 3, 2021.
I made a few changes to this recipe to make it even more flavorful (and get us more gravy!). I wanted to list them here so you can see what has happened.
I added a sauteed onion and garlic to the gravy. You can skip this if you didn’t miss it 🙂
I increased the broth to 2 cups from 1 cup — this gives us more gravy! I also increase the vinegar, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce to match.
I removed the roast after pressure cooking to add the potatoes and carrots, but you can still do it either way. This way, the roast has time to rest and we can shred it while the vegetables cook.
I added a tablespoon of ketchup to the gravy — this just brightens the flavors and adds a subtle touch of sweetness.
