Instant Pot London Broil roast for 2


If I am feeding the family, like Sunday dinner, I use two Instant Pots, but this was an easy weekday dinner for 2 (with enough leftovers for lunch). This uses a small London Broil (50% off at Safeway) that is just shy of 2 lbs. so I reduced the time by about 10 minutes. It will still take you about a little over an hour from prep to table, so plan accordingly.

Ingredients:

  • London broil (thawed), 2 lbs.
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 4 c beef broth
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (or smoked paprika)
  • 1 onion, chopped large
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, washed but left whole
  • 1 lb baby carrots or carrots cut large
  • 1 packet Ranch dressing mix
  • 2 T butter

Directions:

  1. In a separate bowl, mix onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika. Put IP on saute and use the seasoning mix to season meat. 
  2. Oil the pot and sear the seasoned meat on all sides. Like a grill, just let it sear on each side for about 3 minutes each. Don't worry if the bottom starts burning because the broth will take the brown bits off.
  3. Add the beef broth and scrape the bits off with a wooden spoon.
  4. Add the vegetables around the meat
  5. Sprinkle the Ranch dressing mix on top and cut the butter into cubes to sprinkle. Give everything a mix so the dressing is dissolved in broth.
  6. Put IP on manual for 40 minutes with a 10 minute natural pressure release.
  7. After the 10 minutes natural pressure release, release valve, take out vegetables with a slotted spoon, cut meat and plate everything. 
  8. Meanwhile, put the IP on saute, mix 2 T cornstarch with about 1/4 c water to make a slurry and thicken the broth into gravy
