INSTRUCTIONS:
Brown Chuck Roast Steak:

1. Heat up Instant Pot using Sauté More function. Wait until it says HOT (~8 mins). 
2. Pat dry the chuck roast steak and lightly season one side with salt + black pepper. Drizzle the inner pot with 1 tbsp olive oil. 
3. Then, place the seasoned side of chuck roast in Instant Pot. Lightly season the other side with more salt + black pepper. 

*Pro Tip: Brown each side for 10 minutes to develop some awesome deep flavors.
*Note: If you prefer a "Dump-it-all-in" Recipe, you can skip the browning and saute steps
Saute Onion & Garlic:

1. Set browned chuck roast aside. Add in sliced onions, then saute until softened (~3 - 4 mins).
2. Set aside roughly ⅓ of the softened onions for later. Add in minced garlic, a pinch of dried rosemary, a pinch of thyme, and 2 bay leaves.
3. Saute for another minute. 

*Pro Tip: Your Instant Pot will stop sauteeing after 30 minutes, turn it back on by pressing "Saute" button.
Deglaze Instant Pot:
