Instant Pot 3-Ingredient Rump Roast

This recipe was sent to me by a reader named Kathy. It's a super easy recipe that you don't have to spend much time putting together…dump and go!

The rump roast does, however, take a while to get tender, even in the Instant Pot. I used a 90 minute pressure cooking time! That's a long time for the Instant Pot. However, it takes a tough piece of meat and makes it fork tender. It doesn't fall apart but it is easily shreddable or sliceable.

The potatoes and carrots are an optional step. You add them in later and let them cook for only 4-5 minutes. If you tried to add them at the beginning they would be complete mush.

The broth and drippings make an easy gravy. All you have to do is stir in a cornstarch slurry and let it thicken up. The roast rump doesn't have much fat on it so there is not a lot of grease.

This dinner makes a perfect dish for Sunday dinner…or really any night of the week!

What ingredients do I need to make rump roast?

• Rump roast–I used a 2-3 pound roast. If your roast is bigger than that I suggest cutting it in half.
• Water–or low sodium beef broth
• Onion soup mix–you can also make your own from scratch
• Au jus gravy mix packet–you can also make your own from scratch
• Baby carrots–you can also use sliced and peeled carrots. These are optional.
• Russet potatoes–peeled and cut into chunks. You can also use yellow potatoes.
• Cornstarch–to thicken the gravy. You can also use flour or arrowroot.

How do I make rump roast in the Instant Pot?

1. Add ingredients into Instant Pot: Place your trimmed roast in your Instant Pot. Pour in the water. Sprinkle the packet of onion soup mix over the roast. Sprinkle your packet of au jus gravy mix on top of the roast. If you'd like to add more flavor and color you can sear the meat on all sides in a little bit of olive oil on the sauté setting before pressure cooking.
2. Pressure cook: Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 90 minutes on high pressure. The pot will take about 10 minutes to build pressure and then will start counting down from 90.
3. No potatoes and carrots option: Once the time is up let the pot sit there for another 15 minutes (display will read L0:15) and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.Potatoes and carrots option:Once the time is up move the valve to venting. Remove the lid. Add in the potatoes and carrots. Replace the lid and set the valve to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes (for less soft vegetables) or 5 minutes (or softer vegetables). When the time is up let the pot sit there for 10-15 minutes (L0:10) and then move the valve to venting.
4. To make the gravy: Place the meat and vegetables on a platter and set aside. Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Make a cornstarch slurry in a small bowl. Stir together 2 Tbsp of cornstarch and 2 Tbsp of cold water until smooth. Stir the slurry into the pot. Whisk. It should thicken the sauce very quickly. Salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve the gravy with the roast and optional vegetables.

Notes/Tips

What pressure cooker size?

• I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. You can also make this in an 8 quart pot and if the roast is small enough you can make it in a 3 quart pot.

What if my roast beef is frozen?

• You can still make this recipe! Just add 20 extra minutes, so 110 minutes instead of 90 minutes.

Can I use a chuck roast instead?

• Yes you can! Use a 70 minute pressure cook time instead of a 90 minute pressure cook time.

How would you adjust this for an eye of the round roast?

• Eye of round doesn't need as much time. I would only pressure cook it for 30 minutes. It probably will be more of a roast you cut into slices rather than a shreddable roast.

How would you adjust this recipe if you use a larger roast?

• I would cut the roast into quarters or in half and then follow the recipe as stated.

How would you adjust this recipe if you use a smaller roast?

• I would just a 75 minute pressure cooking time instead of a 90 minute pressure cooking time.

Can this recipe be gluten-free?

• Most onion soup mixes and au jus packets are not gluten free. Kroger brand, however, does not contain gluten although it is not labeled as gluten free. Try this homemade recipe and keep it on hand: 1-1/2 cups dried minced onion, 1/4 cup GF beef bouillon powder, 2-1/2 TBS onion powder, 1/2 tsp crushed celery seed, 1/2 teaspoon sugar. 5 Tablespoons of this is about equal to a packet.

How do I make this in the oven?

• Pat the roast dry with a paper towel. If you'd like you can sear in a skillet or dutch oven first over medium-high heat in a little bit of oil.
• Place roast into a roasting pan. Add in the water, onion soup mix and au jus packet. Arrange the vegetables (if using) around the meat. Place on a middle oven rack.
• Cook for 20 minutes at 375° degrees. Turn down the heat to 225° degrees and cook for 90 minutes to 2 ½ hours. Check the roast for doneness with a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should be at least 135° to 145° in the middle of the meat.
• Make gravy out of the drippings. Make a cornstarch slurry and mix together with the drippings on the stove over medium heat.
