Apple Cider Braised Chuck Roast

March 27, 2020
I'm completely obsessed with my Instant Pot pressure cooker (which does a far sight more than meets the eye).

I bought it for the low, low price of $50 (including shipping) on Amazon Prime Day last year and I haven't looked back. I use it for EVERYTHING: pasta, potatoes, hard-cooked eggs, rice, beans, oatmeal, making chicken stock, even cheesecake. Yeah. Cheesecake.


But the best parts about the Instant Pot are that anyone can use it and you can cook things in a fraction of the time, unsupervised. I love that I can just put on the lid and take a nap or get some work done in my home office while the food is percolating away.

This recipe is no different. It's simple, yet tasty. The acid from the vinegar cuts through the fatty pieces like butter while the vegetables fall apart with the mere suggestion of a fork. I sincerely enjoyed this dish and I hope you do too.
