Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast

The most amazing pot roast ever! Made in the IP in just a fraction of the time. So juicy and melt-in-your-mouth tender!
I have never had a pot roast that I didn’t like. And this is no exception.
Now it’s definitely not your grandma’s traditional pot roast as it is made with some very unconventional ingredients like pepperoncini and dry onion soup mix. But fear not because this pot roast will blow. your. mind.
And with the help of the pressure cooker, this is made in just a fraction of the time.
Not only that, the meat is cooked so perfectly. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, literally falling apart with the most heavenly gravy – slightly spicy, tangy and savory. It’s also perfect as a low-carb meal if you want to serve this with cauliflower rice and an assortment of vegetables.
But honestly, I serve the meat as is with all the gravy, a glass of wine and all the crusty bread.
There’s just no wrong way to serve this.
Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 4 to 4 ½ pound boneless chuck roast, excess fat trimmed and cut into 6 pieces
- 1 cup beef stock
- 6-8 jarred pepperoncini salad peppers, plus 1/4 cup liquid from jar
- 1 (1-ounce) package dry onion soup mix
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
- 1 tablespoon dried chives
- 2 teaspoons dried dill
- 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Set a 6-qt Instant Pot® to the high saute setting. Heat oil; add beef and cook until evenly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side; set aside.
- Stir in beef stock, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Stir in pepperoncini salad peppers and liquid, dry onion soup mix, parsley flakes, chives, dill, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper. Return beef to the pot.
- Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 45 minutes. When finished cooking, naturally release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions, about 20-30 minutes.
- Remove beef from the Instant Pot®; shred, using two forks.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 3 tablespoons cold water; set aside.
- Select high sauté setting. Bring to a boil; stir in cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more beef stock as needed until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve beef with juices immediately.

Any recommendations for making this in a dutch oven on the stove/in the oven?
Idk what I did wrong her, but my roast was nothing close to falling apart. It was probably my mistake by any tips? Followed the recipe to a T.
This is our go to roast recipe. Before finding this, every roast we did was like shoe leather. This roast is tender, flavorful and turns out every time we make it.
that looks good
Amazing! So simple and quick
I have made this several times and its always a hit! The peppers make it a little spicy for some people, but still delicious!!
Another hit! I prepared this recipe for dinner for my family and everyone enjoyed it. Definitely making this one again! Don’t skip the gravy! Thank you Chungah!
Hi Chungah, can I substitute a beef eye of round roast?
I did this tonight for dinner with mashed potatoes. The store was out of whole pepperoncinis so I used hot rings and just sort of estimated how many rings would make a single pepper. I also salted the beef while it was browning, but those were my only adjustments. It was SO GOOD! Not spicy just a nice acidic zing. Even the picky kids liked it. Definitely will make again!
So TENDER! So FLAVORFUL! So EASY! I am SO impressed with this pot roast. I loved it and thought the flavor was good and the tenderness definitely there. I followed the recipe exactly and all the flavors blended together like family. It is also versatile because you can put it over mashed potatoes, rice, or use bread to make sandwiches,, or as Chungah said, sop up the gravy ~ there is plenty of gravy. So delish.
I made this tonight and omg it was delicious! I only used half the dill as I’ve never used it before otherwise I followed as exact. The gravy was delicious and I served with some dinner rolls, mashed potatoes and sweet corn. First time for the little peppers also. It just gave it a hint of heat but not overwhelming. Husband loved it and said to please fix it again sometime.
Love your recipes! Can you provide slow cooker instructions for this recipe? Thx
So delicious, simple and quick! This has become our go to Sunday meal because it can easily be made after church and tastes like a good old fashion Sunday dinner. I followed the recipe as it was written and wouldn’t change a thing. This one is a keeper!
This is so delicious! I’ve made it twice now. I swear all your recipes are genius!
Not my favorite. Very tangy from the peppers. I probably quick released instead of natural release. I love your pot roast with wine better. Thanks for all the recipes.
This had kick! My husband and I really enjoyed it. It was too spicy for my daughter so she had some leftover pork. We had it over mashed potatoes and it was great. The fact is really delicious.
Sorry the gravy is delicious.
I made this in a Crockpot (slow cooker) and it came it out great.
I love a Mississippi pot roast but haven’t tried it in the IP yet. So looking forward to trying this out!!
Much better than the one made with ranch seasoning. I thought the original to be WAY too salty for my taste. This one still has all that savory, umami, tangy loveliness but is a lot more palatable. And I appreciate that the butter is omitted (though I am sure those who make this recipe are not necessarily looking for healthy eating recipes! Haha) Great for the occasional treat!
OMG! This was absolutely delicious. My husband, whose best compliment is, “It’s alright” actually said, “This is delicious!” That’s high praise from him. Seriously, this was the juiciest meat with the best flavor (I think it’s the onion soup mix) that we’ve had in quite some time. Comfort food to the max, and very easy to prepare. Thanks for such a great recipe!
Made this tonight and it was amazing! Followed the recipe as stated with no modifications. Great flavor profile, not heavy and super tasty. A must in the meal rotation!
