Old Fashioned Beef Pot Roast - In the Pressure Cooker!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- This is an old recipe, pretty much as I've been doing it ever since I can remember, and not far removed from how my mother did it when she was raising three hungry kids. It's pure comfort food in the truest sense of the word.
The pressure cooker contributes two aspects to the cook. First, the roast is actually totally cooked and falling apart tender in 45 minutes, not the typical 3 hours for a pot roast. Second, the pressure and temperatures inside it infuse all the flavors together in ways that just don't happen the same any other way. I've done pot roasts many times in the oven, and they're fine, but I always come back to the pressure cooker when I want it MY WAY.

Thanks, Kevin!
Love the kitty!!! I'm 45, my mum used to cook cheap economical but good food in a pressure cooker in 80s Britain. Meat and two veg ruled in our house. I often follow her example sometimes for Friday night dinner (shabbos) cooking a joint in red wine vinegar and ginger to give an amazing sauerbraten. I blend the veg and liquid to make a delicious nutritious sauce and serve with potato kugel. All cooked in 50 mins.
It keeps you grounded when you go back to your roots now and then. Every time I make this it reminds me that the old fashioned ways are every bit as valid today as ever. To me, there's just no better pot roast than how my mom did it, and no better cornbread than a 100 year old recipe in a cast iron skillet. And I've made a meal of cornbread more than once, myself. LOL
Thanks, Melissa!
Man after my own heart. Been using, , the old fashioned pressure cookers, for 60 yrs. Have 8 different ones from 4qt to 22/23 qt.....LOVE THEM. My Mom taught me how to use them. Would rather use one of these than the "new" electric ones. The "jiggle" is part of the pleasure. Thank you for sharing
I figure watching the jiggly rocker on my pressure cooker is a good reason to sit and relax in the kitchen. You shouldn’t leave the pressure cooker unattended anyway. Good time to have tea at the kitchen table and take a break.
I dunno why but I don't trust the electric ones. You can't beat the old simple types from the 70s. Mine is made by Tower and bottom pops up with different colours depending on the pressure. Blue for fish at 5lb, yellow for veg at 10lb and red for meat at 15lb. I do my meat on yellow as I'm always a little nervous of pressure cookers, even though I've used them for years.
'Button' rather that bottom.
tried your recipe last night in my new stainless steel pressure cooker and it turned out awesome! thanks for teaching us on youtube!
Everything you used is what my grandmother used when she cooked. Most of the time, she made pot roast on the stove. She used her pressure cooker for park chops & scalloped potatoes or Swiss steak. YUM!
+Diane Milligan Thanks for stopping by! Apparently, your grandmother and mine went to the same Tupperware parties. LOL
But seriously, this recipe is how my mother did it, and how her mother did it, and you're another of many who have said the same. There are some recipes that seem to be universal, and pass the test of time. We can mess around with them, but we just can't seem to improve on them, and an old fashioned pot roast is one of them.
Well done, sir! I've been cooking my pot roasts in a slow cooker that takes 4.5 hours to produce a similar meal. Now that I recently found my mom's pressure cooker -- and thanks to your video -- I can shave that down to about 1.25 hours, including biscuits or cornbread. Yes! :D
Ha! We were raised in a different era, when people weren't afraid of food.
Glad you enjoyed the visit! To me, a pot roast in the pressure is a real treat. I much prefer it over one done in the oven. Some old recipes withstand the test of time, and this is one of them.
This helped me so much I was anxious to use this kind of pressure cooker but it’s the only one available to me and thankfully this vid saved me!!
This man is a joy to watch.
Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge with us.
✌🏼❤
Loved your video. Reminded me of the way things were when I was growing up. Delicious home cooked meal with the whole family. Still make my pot roast that way. Taught my kids and the grandkids. That was the good times before TV dinners appeared. Thanks so much.
You just got a new subscriber! Glad to see these classic cooking methods are still around. Wish I'd paid more attention when my mom was still with us. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Looks wonderful! I'm making it for dinner tonight and will send some to my ailing friend.
Oh my! That's what I call an old fashion meal. Mr thank you so much for sharing your recipe ❤️
Love the dialect. Thank you.
Making one right now!!! Living in a hot climate sure makes the pressure cooker the best way to make a lovely meal.
Those ole skool pressure cookers are iron clad they will never die,that meat was fork tender blessed and highly favored just like you thanks for sharing your love chef.
Broke out the All American Pressure Cooker Model 921...Fantastic...Thanks
I’m so glad you made these videos. So helpful… piggery and all.
I bought a Micro-Matic pressure cooker (with cookbook) a few weeks ago at Goodwill for $7!
I’m still trying to figure out how to use it.
I’m so happy I came across your vid.
Love the old fashioned stove settings. My grandmother had: medium, medium-high, semi-high, and high Great video!
Thank u kind sir. Probably the most accurate instructions on how to use one of these death traps.
Looks real tasty. I have my Granny's 1930s pressure cooker, land sakes that thing is heavy but its in good shape and gets the job done even on my 1879 wood cook stove. You cook the way I do in a lot of ways but have to say your a lot neater than me. I have a large family so everything I cook has to be doubled to feed all the kin. Enjoy your videos and much obliged for sharing them.
I just was given two pressure cookers a Presto and a mirro, a 4 qt and a 6 qt. I am a happy girl. I have a ordered gaskets, waiting for arrive!
Yehhh...finally I see a proper pressure cooker. I have a 1973 kitchen craft pressure cooker. Got it fixed and will never part with it. It has made some amazing foods. I would never trade it for an new instant pot.
My uncle just gave me a 4 Q pressure cooker, grew up with them so I know the basics but I didn't know how long I should leave it on.. so thank you thank you :-)
Buddy, I am ready for dinner. Love old fashioned home food. You did great!.
Looks awesome. I received my GM old presto pressure cooker put a new ring on it bought a roast now trying your recipe. Thanks for corn bread recipe as well.
My mother always had a coffee can of bacon grease in the fridge too. The fat is healthy! Thanks for a terrific demonstration of Pot Roast cooked in a pressure cooker. I'll have to go out and get me one. Everything looks scrumptious!
I grew up in a different country and the old ppl cooked that way too in presure cookers.I like your resepe
Glad you enjoyed it! It sounds like you have quite a collection of them. Since I'm cooking for one, this 4 qt model is perfect for me, and it's been serving me well since the mid 60s.
I've never seen an electric one, but I'm seeing a lot of multitasking countertop gadgets these days, and the one you describe sounds pretty convenient.
Thanks for stopping by!
This video brings back so many wonderful memories! Thanks
John, After adding your veggies pressure 'less' than 10 mins... maybe 4-5 mins. Your veggies will be nicely done & NOT mushy. TY for the wonderful tips on 'browning the roast' and different seasonings.
Great demonstration! Today's the day I make a pot roast for the first time with a good old fashioned pressure cooker. Her I go!
Awsome, looks just like my grandmother used to make every Saturday just changing the corn bread for home baked white bread. Home made beans on Sunday. Thanks for that recipe I bought a pressure cooker a Cpl weeks ago and gonna take your advice.
We also had home baked bread "way back then," and the combination of the aromas would drive you out of the house. Now you're making me hungry. LOL
Thanks for stopping in, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you get as much joy out of that pressure cooker as I have with mine. Recipes like this make it all worth it.
A man using a pressure cooker to make a meal btter than his mother YET having a glass of wine i a truely sophisticated 'Knuckledragger " with my everlasting respect and adimariation
You sir are TRULY a MAN!!!
The last few seconds,I was drooling in my lap..
Excellent video. Thank you very much.👍
I have a 2-year-old Presto pressure cooker, the kind you use on your stove. It’s a stainless-steel cooker with a “rocker.” I just pressure cooked an artichoke this week-artichokes always pressure cook perfectly.
Going to be brave & cook corned beef tomorrow-following the Presto instruction book, of course.
Your pot roast looks delicious!
" Do excuse me,I have Piggery to commit" Love it!!. Thank you for sharing. Will definitely try this in my pressure cooker. Like the Cinnamon addition too. Good comfort food indeed!
Thanks so much. Just inherited the exact pot you have... here goes nothing.
OMG, bacon drips for frying, you got a new subscriber!! and yes, Crisco is garbage, highly processed garbage! Wonderful dish !! :-)
Thank you, Moose. Piggery was done. "You ate it, Ralph." LOL
Oh YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BUDDY!! The only thing that plates missing is a diving board! YUM John!!! I've never used a pressure cooker before, but I might have to hunt one down now!!!
Thank you very much for posting this recipe. I’ve been looking for one close to the way my mom made and this is definitely it. Only thing different is that I remember her browning the meat right in the pressure cooker and not in a frying pan and that she used celery as well.
LOL! I hate to admit that I've done that before. Put together a huge feast, and when it's done I'm too wasted to care. I hate that.
This pot roast was REALLY good!
Wow sir... u done one hell of a damn good job.. reminds me of my mother's cooking .. thank you .great job
looks great, i just got a new electric pressure cooker and this will be the first meal i make in it thanks alot great video
peter ellis Glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope it worked well for you!
I'm so going to make this next week in my ninja foodi max. I remember those old fashioned pressure cookers and it scared the life out of me when it juggled. Even my wee Mammy God bless her was scared of it.
We'll be trying it this way in a few hours, looks perfect. I really miss round bone pot roast cuts, chuck never seems to turn out as tender. Can't wait to try your method, it's almost identical to what my wife and mom made- hoping the pressure cooker will get it to cut with a spoon. Looks fantastic in your video! ;)
Can you come back to UA-cam and make some more videos??? I just found your channel and I am in love with this I can relate and I see you haven't made anymore since 2 years ago. Please come back to UA-cam. We need more real people here like you. Please come back and knock em dead with more of these wonderful videos. I need you to re learn everything I lost when my grandma died. We need real life cooking videos and not those new style trending insta pots. Please show us more pressure cooking recipes and do all the steps and teach us all step by step your methods. I'll be watching EVERYTHING
I just scored a vintage Maitre's pressure cooker and your video was so helpful in instructing how to use it!! The food looks decadent too!
8 years later...I want some Pot Roast....
I just fry it in the pressure cooker and then add water. Saves cleaning a frying pan.
That's what I was thinking.
That's what I do. I'm making pulled pork right now in mine.
Malik Martin, excellent point. When the roast is big enough you have to stuff it into the pressure cooker, it'll tend to steam itself rather than brown. The point is to brown it all over, and the skillet gives you the space to do just that.
@Malik Martin they should perhaps make them wider and shallower
The cat is sitting there watching to make sure he's cooking it right!
It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it, and he worked cheap. LOL
looks great cant wait to make it. Thanks for taking the time to show us.
This looks like my moms pressure cooker that blew up.. put instant pot on your holiday list. Thank you for recipe!
That's nonsense. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his pressure cooker. I have 3 stove top pressure cookers and those Instant Pots can't hold a candle to any of the stove top ones. The Instant Pot is just a gadget for the pressure cooking challenged folks.
Ruth Alvarez enjoy
Been meaning to get me a pressure cooker. Winter is just around the corner and it's a good way to heat up the house and prepare a weeks worth of food at the same time.
Looks yummy 👍I will definitely try it 😊
Thank you so much for this vid. Grew up with kind of cooking and I just acquired a pressure cooker and this is the first recipe I am gonna cook....thanks
+gary sarver jr Glad you enjoyed it! It'll be a great way to break in the new pressure cooker. Why it took Google two weeks to let me know you'd left this comment is beyond me, but thanks for dropping in and watching!
That looks great .thank you
Thanks for the good ideas. I make an awesome Jerk Boston Butt in the pressure cooker but haven't tried a Pot Roast yet and didn't want to mess it up. I was unsure on the cooking time.
I'm going to use the same procedures except I'll use some tomato paste with some beef consume in addition to the beef stock. A few sprigs of fresh Thyme instead of dried.
Add the carrots and potatoes and cook for 15 more minutes.
Release the pressure from the pot and add a bag of green peas. Cover and let rest.
Once cooled down remove everything, strain the juices, add some flour for the gravy.
Mix all of the meat and veggies together along with lots of the gravy!
Now that's a Pot Roast!
Glad you got some ideas. Thanks for stopping by.
Looks so good my mouth is salivating❗️
Looks fantastic! My parents used to cook cornbread the same way.
nice to see a video on youtube by someone who knows how to cook a pot roast in the Pc. definitely add the veges later. I add my garlic with the veges at the end, the flavor is so much richer.
Looks so delicious!! Thanks for sharing the video.
Glad you enjoyed it! It's a great old never fail recipe.
+Anonymoose tip add 4 shots of jack Daniels the beef will have a nice whiskey taste
Ive made this twice now both times it came out great thanks for the recipe... ps. Use a ladle instead of a spoon to put the beautiful gravy on
Thanks! Glad to know you're enjoying it! I used the spoon because I was trying to look a little more civilized, and less like the pure blooded glutton I am. With camera off, I dive in there with a ladle. LOL
Definitely cooked it the old fashioned way! My mother had a pressure cooker just like that. My favorite thing would be the corn bread. I love corn bread and butter and have made a meal out of it many times. It looked wonderful Moosie. Cooking like your mom. No better way. Hugs!
good vid. i enjoy using the pressure cookers too. i have several sizes of stove top ones..they have been taken over by the electric one .. it is fantastic. slow cooker, roaster, steamer and pressure cooker. i like the feature of the timer including the menu to select keep warm. it is a fantastic help for holiday cooking when the oven and stove top are in high demand. the roast you cooked looks wonderful....thanks for sharing. i have never tried cinnamon on a roast..... next roast for sure.
Oh yeah beebee! Dat looks Fabo. thanks fer takin time out to post this. -Paw paw
Try cornbread mix with buttermilk, let the oil come over the top it will be crispy, I always use aunt jemima, I love your video.
Thanks for the embed, Larry! As hard as it is for any of us to get views anymore, it sure can't hurt. And yes, I could just as easily do this on my Coleman stove on a picnic table in the woods, as I can do in my kitchen. If you want an elegant feast, there's no reason you can't have one. I checked out the forum, and it looks pretty active.
Looks GREAT👍😊
It looks so good I feel I smell it as well.
your Mom would be very proud of you
Thank you! I do like to think she'd be pleased, knowing that the tradition has been passed on.
that was always a great smell to come home to...i still cook it like that (but i sear it in the pressure cooker before i close it up..and yep..i do all the edges)
Thanks, you're awesome!!!
Thank you Mr. Moose enjoyed it and collecting for my new old pressure cooker, eating better.
Piggery to commit! I love it lol this was beautiful and made me want to cook it tonight
Good old-fashioned cooking... I'm hungry now too.
😎 WOWWWW! Never expected this... it looks wonderful and I love your style my friend. Momma always saved and used the bacon fat drippings. That's what won me over!!
Greetings from Tennessee!
Now I am starving, mouth watered to the point 🤤 on myself trying to think of what to make for supper and had no idea what the timer was for that I ran across my 78 yr old father's kitchen drawer (he was out & about) when I had found it so I google lens'd it. to find out what heck it was doin in the kitchen drawer?! I was thinkin that may be it was something for stripping wires with or something else! Nope that was not it! I think I have seen the cooker in the cabinets b4 I had moved out & started my own family 15 yrs back from today. So now I am wondering if he STILL has the entire cooker! Then I am going to convince him to let me cook with it as long as he has your recipes ingredients! I have never put cinnamon in anything but french toast batter or pancake batter, & topped some cookies & cupcakes with it, but I am very curious 🤔 as to using it in a pot roast recipe! I would have prolly never guessed cinnamon for some reason I was thinking that maybe ya were gonna say ground walnut or pecan or almond or nutmeg was the one I was really leaning in to and was absolutely 🤯 when ya said cinnamon! Anywho I have some cookery things to see if I can find & some convincing to go and get what Dad don't got stocked in his cabinets, for some good ol fashioned supper! I am sure he would love! 🤔Hmmm wondering if I can use a grill outside to cook the corn bread in the iron skillet. I may have to Google that 🤦🏼♀️ bc I only know that ya don't use them for glass top ovens! Thanks you very much for showing me how to use a mirror matic timer and how to cook a better roast! I will have to check out more of your videos bc you have the kind of skill that a lot of people lack of in videos and make me skip thru theirs where yours was direct to the point and explanatory all at the same dang time, so for once I have been able to be entertained without using the fast forward at all and was interested in the final food! not sure yet of what other videos ya may have up but this one only did not show us how ya made the hillbilly loaf (a.k.a. 🌽 🍞). Hopefully ya have one up so I can learn from it too! Closest thing I have found in my dad's cabinets for ingredients is beef stew in a can which the guy I am with for 20+yrs calls that stuff beef flavored human dog food! So looks like I am going to the store for sure!
Thank ya very much from down in the b.f.e. hollers in Indiana!
That came out looking great!
thank you, you got my mom,s way too,!
I don't know why - but I like your style, yum!
Hahahaa! Thanks!
i always loved the way the meat just falls apart (i have to admit..i serve it in a big bowl..so i can drown everything in the gravy.....maybe not heart healthy, but definite comfort food !)
Hi!
Thanks for the updade on the "old" style pressure cooker! Not everyone wants to spend $200 for an Instapot. It all looked delicious but maybe the carrots could be without gravy. Pewrhaps you could also do a video for center cut pork loin with sauerkraut?
I made your old fashion rec, used my grandmothers big pressure cooker she willed to me. OMG was really good. Thank u for sharing..
Tony Rigdon Great to hear that you made it, *and* that you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback! Hang onto that old pressure cooker. It's a real treasure.
Even after making sure all the steam has been released, I always cover the pressure cooker with a hand towel and use tongs to remove the regulator, so I don't accidentally burn myself. Ouch!! I use my leftover meat to make tostadas, tacos or burritos, or machaca with eggs. I just shred the meat and fry it in hot Mazola Corn Oil and season with salt and onion/garlic powder.....very Yummy!
I enjoyed your presentation and the food looks delicious !!!
Thanks much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
looks delicious.
That looks delicious I just bought a stove top pressure cooker and will be doing your recipe tonight 😋😋
You had me at Bacon Grease! ❤
Thank you for sharing this, i've just inherited my mums old pressure cooker and this is the first dish i've made in it - so delicious, we will be using your recipe on a regular basis and I can't wait to try your chicken dish
Thanks! It's great to know you've enjoyed it, and it's helping you get that pressure cooker humming again! Once you've gotten the hang of it, there'*so* much you can do with it.
Anonymoose I'd love to try baked apples in it too, any ideas?
Everyone uses instapots! I don’t have one so thanks for this.
Love you and your video....making these items on Christmas Day..thanks to you... I am off to store😃😃😃 Merry Christmas
Your cat is adorable!
Hi from Regina, SK.
It is very easy to use.
love your supervisor. never thought of making it with can milk. interesting!
