Old Fashioned Beef Pot Roast - In the Pressure Cooker! 

Love the kitty!!! I'm 45, my mum used to cook cheap economical but good food in a pressure cooker in 80s Britain. Meat and two veg ruled in our house. I often follow her example sometimes for Friday night dinner (shabbos) cooking a joint in red wine vinegar and ginger to give an amazing sauerbraten. I blend the veg and liquid to make a delicious nutritious sauce and serve with potato kugel. All cooked in 50 mins.

It keeps you grounded when you go back to your roots now and then. Every time I make this it reminds me that the old fashioned ways are every bit as valid today as ever. To me, there's just no better pot roast than how my mom did it, and no better cornbread than a 100 year old recipe in a cast iron skillet. And I've made a meal of cornbread more than once, myself. LOL Thanks, Melissa!

Man after my own heart. Been using, , the old fashioned pressure cookers, for 60 yrs. Have 8 different ones from 4qt to 22/23 qt.....LOVE THEM. My Mom taught me how to use them. Would rather use one of these than the "new" electric ones. The "jiggle" is part of the pleasure. Thank you for sharing

tried your recipe last night in my new stainless steel pressure cooker and it turned out awesome! thanks for teaching us on youtube!

Everything you used is what my grandmother used when she cooked. Most of the time, she made pot roast on the stove. She used her pressure cooker for park chops & scalloped potatoes or Swiss steak. YUM!

Well done, sir! I've been cooking my pot roasts in a slow cooker that takes 4.5 hours to produce a similar meal. Now that I recently found my mom's pressure cooker -- and thanks to your video -- I can shave that down to about 1.25 hours, including biscuits or cornbread. Yes! :D

Ha! We were raised in a different era, when people weren't afraid of food. Glad you enjoyed the visit! To me, a pot roast in the pressure is a real treat. I much prefer it over one done in the oven. Some old recipes withstand the test of time, and this is one of them.

This helped me so much I was anxious to use this kind of pressure cooker but it’s the only one available to me and thankfully this vid saved me!!

Loved your video. Reminded me of the way things were when I was growing up. Delicious home cooked meal with the whole family. Still make my pot roast that way. Taught my kids and the grandkids. That was the good times before TV dinners appeared. Thanks so much.

This man is a joy to watch. Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge with us. ✌🏼❤

Those ole skool pressure cookers are iron clad they will never die,that meat was fork tender blessed and highly favored just like you thanks for sharing your love chef.

Oh my! That's what I call an old fashion meal. Mr thank you so much for sharing your recipe ❤️

You just got a new subscriber! Glad to see these classic cooking methods are still around. Wish I'd paid more attention when my mom was still with us. Thank you so much.

Making one right now!!! Living in a hot climate sure makes the pressure cooker the best way to make a lovely meal.

Yehhh...finally I see a proper pressure cooker. I have a 1973 kitchen craft pressure cooker. Got it fixed and will never part with it. It has made some amazing foods. I would never trade it for an new instant pot.

Love the old fashioned stove settings. My grandmother had: medium, medium-high, semi-high, and high Great video!

I just was given two pressure cookers a Presto and a mirro, a 4 qt and a 6 qt. I am a happy girl. I have a ordered gaskets, waiting for arrive!

My uncle just gave me a 4 Q pressure cooker, grew up with them so I know the basics but I didn't know how long I should leave it on.. so thank you thank you :-)

Thank u kind sir. Probably the most accurate instructions on how to use one of these death traps.

John, After adding your veggies pressure 'less' than 10 mins... maybe 4-5 mins. Your veggies will be nicely done & NOT mushy. TY for the wonderful tips on 'browning the roast' and different seasonings.

I bought a Micro-Matic pressure cooker (with cookbook) a few weeks ago at Goodwill for $7! I’m still trying to figure out how to use it. I’m so happy I came across your vid.

My mother always had a coffee can of bacon grease in the fridge too. The fat is healthy! Thanks for a terrific demonstration of Pot Roast cooked in a pressure cooker. I'll have to go out and get me one. Everything looks scrumptious!

Looks real tasty. I have my Granny's 1930s pressure cooker, land sakes that thing is heavy but its in good shape and gets the job done even on my 1879 wood cook stove. You cook the way I do in a lot of ways but have to say your a lot neater than me. I have a large family so everything I cook has to be doubled to feed all the kin. Enjoy your videos and much obliged for sharing them.

Buddy, I am ready for dinner. Love old fashioned home food. You did great!.

Glad you enjoyed it! It sounds like you have quite a collection of them. Since I'm cooking for one, this 4 qt model is perfect for me, and it's been serving me well since the mid 60s. I've never seen an electric one, but I'm seeing a lot of multitasking countertop gadgets these days, and the one you describe sounds pretty convenient. Thanks for stopping by!

A man using a pressure cooker to make a meal btter than his mother YET having a glass of wine i a truely sophisticated 'Knuckledragger " with my everlasting respect and adimariation You sir are TRULY a MAN!!!

I’m so glad you made these videos. So helpful… piggery and all.

Looks awesome. I received my GM old presto pressure cooker put a new ring on it bought a roast now trying your recipe. Thanks for corn bread recipe as well.

LOL! I hate to admit that I've done that before. Put together a huge feast, and when it's done I'm too wasted to care. I hate that. This pot roast was REALLY good!

I grew up in a different country and the old ppl cooked that way too in presure cookers.I like your resepe

Awsome, looks just like my grandmother used to make every Saturday just changing the corn bread for home baked white bread. Home made beans on Sunday. Thanks for that recipe I bought a pressure cooker a Cpl weeks ago and gonna take your advice.

Thank you. Looks wonderful! I'm making it for dinner tonight and will send some to my ailing friend.

Broke out the All American Pressure Cooker Model 921...Fantastic...Thanks

" Do excuse me,I have Piggery to commit" Love it!!. Thank you for sharing. Will definitely try this in my pressure cooker. Like the Cinnamon addition too. Good comfort food indeed!

Great demonstration! Today's the day I make a pot roast for the first time with a good old fashioned pressure cooker. Her I go!

8 years later...I want some Pot Roast....

Love the dialect. Thank you.

OMG, bacon drips for frying, you got a new subscriber!! and yes, Crisco is garbage, highly processed garbage! Wonderful dish !! :-)

Thank you, Moose. Piggery was done. "You ate it, Ralph." LOL

Thank you very much for posting this recipe. I’ve been looking for one close to the way my mom made and this is definitely it. Only thing different is that I remember her browning the meat right in the pressure cooker and not in a frying pan and that she used celery as well.

I have a 2-year-old Presto pressure cooker, the kind you use on your stove. It’s a stainless-steel cooker with a “rocker.” I just pressure cooked an artichoke this week-artichokes always pressure cook perfectly. Going to be brave & cook corned beef tomorrow-following the Presto instruction book, of course. Your pot roast looks delicious!

This video brings back so many wonderful memories! Thanks

looks great, i just got a new electric pressure cooker and this will be the first meal i make in it thanks alot great video

I'm so going to make this next week in my ninja foodi max. I remember those old fashioned pressure cookers and it scared the life out of me when it juggled. Even my wee Mammy God bless her was scared of it.

nice to see a video on youtube by someone who knows how to cook a pot roast in the Pc. definitely add the veges later. I add my garlic with the veges at the end, the flavor is so much richer.

The last few seconds,I was drooling in my lap..

your Mom would be very proud of you

We'll be trying it this way in a few hours, looks perfect. I really miss round bone pot roast cuts, chuck never seems to turn out as tender. Can't wait to try your method, it's almost identical to what my wife and mom made- hoping the pressure cooker will get it to cut with a spoon. Looks fantastic in your video! ;)

Can you come back to RU-vid and make some more videos??? I just found your channel and I am in love with this I can relate and I see you haven't made anymore since 2 years ago. Please come back to RU-vid. We need more real people here like you. Please come back and knock em dead with more of these wonderful videos. I need you to re learn everything I lost when my grandma died. We need real life cooking videos and not those new style trending insta pots. Please show us more pressure cooking recipes and do all the steps and teach us all step by step your methods. I'll be watching EVERYTHING

Definitely cooked it the old fashioned way! My mother had a pressure cooker just like that. My favorite thing would be the corn bread. I love corn bread and butter and have made a meal out of it many times. It looked wonderful Moosie. Cooking like your mom. No better way. Hugs!

i always loved the way the meat just falls apart (i have to admit..i serve it in a big bowl..so i can drown everything in the gravy.....maybe not heart healthy, but definite comfort food !)

Even after making sure all the steam has been released, I always cover the pressure cooker with a hand towel and use tongs to remove the regulator, so I don't accidentally burn myself. Ouch!! I use my leftover meat to make tostadas, tacos or burritos, or machaca with eggs. I just shred the meat and fry it in hot Mazola Corn Oil and season with salt and onion/garlic powder.....very Yummy!

Been meaning to get me a pressure cooker. Winter is just around the corner and it's a good way to heat up the house and prepare a weeks worth of food at the same time.

Wow sir... u done one hell of a damn good job.. reminds me of my mother's cooking .. thank you .great job

Try cornbread mix with buttermilk, let the oil come over the top it will be crispy, I always use aunt jemima, I love your video.

Ive made this twice now both times it came out great thanks for the recipe... ps. Use a ladle instead of a spoon to put the beautiful gravy on

The cat is sitting there watching to make sure he's cooking it right!

Thanks so much. Just inherited the exact pot you have... here goes nothing.

I just scored a vintage Maitre's pressure cooker and your video was so helpful in instructing how to use it!! The food looks decadent too!

Oh YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BUDDY!! The only thing that plates missing is a diving board! YUM John!!! I've never used a pressure cooker before, but I might have to hunt one down now!!!

looks great cant wait to make it. Thanks for taking the time to show us.

Thanks for the embed, Larry! As hard as it is for any of us to get views anymore, it sure can't hurt. And yes, I could just as easily do this on my Coleman stove on a picnic table in the woods, as I can do in my kitchen. If you want an elegant feast, there's no reason you can't have one. I checked out the forum, and it looks pretty active.

Haha! Between the two of them, they do keep a watchful eye on me. I've used canned milk in cooking and baking for many years, and it works beautifully. I rarely drink milk, so I don't keep it around because it'd spoil before I used it, but cans of Carnation in the pantry are always ready and fresh.

Excellent video. Thank you very much.👍

Thank you so much for this vid. Grew up with kind of cooking and I just acquired a pressure cooker and this is the first recipe I am gonna cook....thanks

This looks like my moms pressure cooker that blew up.. put instant pot on your holiday list. Thank you for recipe!

Thanks for the good ideas. I make an awesome Jerk Boston Butt in the pressure cooker but haven't tried a Pot Roast yet and didn't want to mess it up. I was unsure on the cooking time. I'm going to use the same procedures except I'll use some tomato paste with some beef consume in addition to the beef stock. A few sprigs of fresh Thyme instead of dried. Add the carrots and potatoes and cook for 15 more minutes. Release the pressure from the pot and add a bag of green peas. Cover and let rest. Once cooled down remove everything, strain the juices, add some flour for the gravy. Mix all of the meat and veggies together along with lots of the gravy! Now that's a Pot Roast!

Now I am starving, mouth watered to the point 🤤 on myself trying to think of what to make for supper and had no idea what the timer was for that I ran across my 78 yr old father's kitchen drawer (he was out & about) when I had found it so I google lens'd it. to find out what heck it was doin in the kitchen drawer?! I was thinkin that may be it was something for stripping wires with or something else! Nope that was not it! I think I have seen the cooker in the cabinets b4 I had moved out & started my own family 15 yrs back from today. So now I am wondering if he STILL has the entire cooker! Then I am going to convince him to let me cook with it as long as he has your recipes ingredients! I have never put cinnamon in anything but french toast batter or pancake batter, & topped some cookies & cupcakes with it, but I am very curious 🤔 as to using it in a pot roast recipe! I would have prolly never guessed cinnamon for some reason I was thinking that maybe ya were gonna say ground walnut or pecan or almond or nutmeg was the one I was really leaning in to and was absolutely 🤯 when ya said cinnamon! Anywho I have some cookery things to see if I can find & some convincing to go and get what Dad don't got stocked in his cabinets, for some good ol fashioned supper! I am sure he would love! 🤔Hmmm wondering if I can use a grill outside to cook the corn bread in the iron skillet. I may have to Google that 🤦🏼‍♀️ bc I only know that ya don't use them for glass top ovens! Thanks you very much for showing me how to use a mirror matic timer and how to cook a better roast! I will have to check out more of your videos bc you have the kind of skill that a lot of people lack of in videos and make me skip thru theirs where yours was direct to the point and explanatory all at the same dang time, so for once I have been able to be entertained without using the fast forward at all and was interested in the final food! not sure yet of what other videos ya may have up but this one only did not show us how ya made the hillbilly loaf (a.k.a. 🌽 🍞). Hopefully ya have one up so I can learn from it too! Closest thing I have found in my dad's cabinets for ingredients is beef stew in a can which the guy I am with for 20+yrs calls that stuff beef flavored human dog food! So looks like I am going to the store for sure! Thank ya very much from down in the b.f.e. hollers in Indiana!

Oh yeah beebee! Dat looks Fabo. thanks fer takin time out to post this. -Paw paw

I just fry it in the pressure cooker and then add water. Saves cleaning a frying pan.

that was always a great smell to come home to...i still cook it like that (but i sear it in the pressure cooker before i close it up..and yep..i do all the edges)

It looks so good I feel I smell it as well.

😎 WOWWWW! Never expected this... it looks wonderful and I love your style my friend. Momma always saved and used the bacon fat drippings. That's what won me over!!

Hmm, its almost 1 AM and I believe I am "food intoxicated" from watching this! I have a pressure cooker, was my Grandmas that's almost identical to yours but leery of using it as its made of aluminum and I hear that leads to health issues.. Regardless what you cooked looks good, and I may attempt cooking with it and go from there. The cast iron skillets are a MUST have as well.

Looks fantastic! My parents used to cook cornbread the same way.

Looks so delicious!! Thanks for sharing the video.

It's growing quickly. I've been on it only a few months, right from the beginning. Let's face it, on a camping trip food prep is half the fun of being out there. And Cast Iron cooking is taking off again now. Grandma would love us now boy... If you can do any more, especially if you do anything with a Dutch Oven I will embed you again over on that forum.

Thank you Mr. Moose enjoyed it and collecting for my new old pressure cooker, eating better.

Looks so good my mouth is salivating❗️

Pressure cookers are definitely good with stews and soups. Bean dishes, too. I've done assorted meats and roasts in the Crock Pot, and this recipe would probably do very well. With the pressure cooker, though, the high pressure and high temperature steam (it runs up to well over 250°F) both tenderizes and fuses the flavors in its own special way. Both ways will give good results, but IMHO the pressure cooker version is better.

even made your gravy which i don't normally do it turned out well. did not bake cornbread though even though i'm a southerner,

Piggery to commit! I love it lol this was beautiful and made me want to cook it tonight

Hi! Thanks for the updade on the "old" style pressure cooker! Not everyone wants to spend $200 for an Instapot. It all looked delicious but maybe the carrots could be without gravy. Pewrhaps you could also do a video for center cut pork loin with sauerkraut?

good vid. i enjoy using the pressure cookers too. i have several sizes of stove top ones..they have been taken over by the electric one .. it is fantastic. slow cooker, roaster, steamer and pressure cooker. i like the feature of the timer including the menu to select keep warm. it is a fantastic help for holiday cooking when the oven and stove top are in high demand. the roast you cooked looks wonderful....thanks for sharing. i have never tried cinnamon on a roast..... next roast for sure.

That looks great .thank you

Good old-fashioned cooking... I'm hungry now too.

wow he really does have an old fashioned pressure cooker. I thought he was going to put the cat in with the roast and let it explode. I tried the recipe without the cat using 2 psi and natural release. but good

love your supervisor. never thought of making it with can milk. interesting!

Looks yummy 👍I will definitely try it 😊

I've seen other people do the same, keep it around since they don't use milk often. didn't think of that being the reason. makes sense!

Did somebody tell you to shut up? Let me tell you something Mister. You are doing everything right. You got the cast iron pan ( looks like it ) which is better than the non stick pans, it is proven the chemical coating is terrible for human ( we are ) and above all you still got your your old fashion pressure cooking pot. Good for you. You know the new ones are called " instant pot"? It uses the same cooking method, pressurized. Like for instance the old fashion blender is now call the Bullet, same thing. The dish looks yummy, I noticed somebody confirmed already the dish tastes great ! Thumps up!

I don't know why - but I like your style, yum!

That looks delicious I just bought a stove top pressure cooker and will be doing your recipe tonight 😋😋

Thank you for sharing this, i've just inherited my mums old pressure cooker and this is the first dish i've made in it - so delicious, we will be using your recipe on a regular basis and I can't wait to try your chicken dish

Old fashioned has its merits. Some recipes and methods just can't be improved on. Glad I made you hungry. LOL

Totally overfilled which could clog vents. You're only suppose to fill 2/3's full. After the roast is done, let it stand up, then throw those veges into the juice and it will come up to pressure really fast, within a minute and the veges will be done in 3 minutes.

Greetings from Tennessee!

You had me at Bacon Grease! ❤

You just need some Kerrygold butter with that cornbread❤

I've never used a pressure cooker either. I've always either roasted my pot roast in the oven or used a slow cooker. I find that I prefer my vegetables oven roasted, so if I ever did this with a slow cooker I would probably still roast my vegetables in the oven. Although, I'd have to try it all in a pressure cooker first just to see if I liked it that way. :)
