1largeyellow onioncut into large chunks

1 bunchfresh thyme
Instructions
In your Instant Pot, pour olive oil and butter. Press the Saute button, then Adjust until the red illuminated lights says MORE.
Generously salt and pepper both sides of the roast.
When the Instant Pot is hot and the butter is melted, place the roast in the Instant Pot and brown on both sides (about 5 minutes each side).
Dissolve beef bouillon base in hot water.
Remove from Instant Pot. Sprinkle flour on the bottom of the pot and whisk. Slowly pour in the beef broth, red wine and tomato paste. Whisk until the mixture thickens, about 30 seconds.
Place the roast back into the pot and cover with rosemary and thyme.
Turn the Instant Pot off and place the lid on the Instant Pot (you may have to wait for it to cool slightly).
Turn the vent to “sealing” and press Manual and set the time to 45 minutes.
When the timer goes off, do a quick release to release the pressure by carefully moving the vent to “venting” and let the steam release. When the steam releases, carefully remove the lid and remove the rosemary and thyme and then add the potatoes, carrots and onions.
Put the lid back on, turn the vent to “sealing”. Press Manual and set the time to 10 minutes.
When the timer goes off, quickly release the steam. Carefully remove the lid and scoop out the potatoes, onions and carrots onto a serving platter. Place the roast on top. Strain and reserve the liquid for serving.

Notes
Cook Times May VaryPlease note that the cook times may vary depending on the following:
Size of Pot Roast
Instant Pot Model
Temperature of the Pot Roast before placing it in the Instant Pot
Temperature of liquid before placing it in the Instant Pot
While most Pot Roasts are done at the 55 minute mark, some may require additional cook time. I've never cooked a pot roast longer than about 70 minutes. Adjust the time up if needed.
