Pressure Cooker Roast & Gravy
We don’t know about you, but we LOVE our pressure cooker. Sure, it’s no replacement for the low-and-slow cooking we grew up with, but for those times when you’re in a pinch, pressure cookers offer some serious dinner-time magic.
One of our favorite go-to recipes for the pressure cooker is roast. That’s right—the roast of our childhood is no longer just for Sunday dinner. Rather than slow roasting your beef or pork for hours and hours, all you need for this any-night version is about 1-2 hours from start to finish. The best part? This tried-and-true pressure cooker roast recipe is sure to have your whole family convinced you’ve been cooking for days.
