  • 8 baby carrots

  • 4 ounces mushrooms, halved, or more to taste

  • 6 cloves garlic

  • 1 (2 1/2 pound) beef chuck pot roast

  • ¼ cup olive oil, divided

  • kosher salt to taste

  • ground black pepper

  • ¼ cup sweet red wine

  • 1 cup beef broth

  • cup apple cider

  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions

  1. Place onion, celery, baby carrots, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor; pulse to coarsely chop.

  2. Coat roast generously with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Cook roast until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer roast to a large plate.
