  • Remove the beef. Add the onions and tomatoes to the pot, then stir in the all-purpose flour and mix well. Cook the flour for approximately 1-minutes. Then add the Guinness Stout and stir well to combine.

  • Add the potatoes and carrots, then place the pot roast on top. Seal the lid and set the Instant Pot to the 'MEAT | STEW' setting. Set the timer for 20-minutes per pound of beef, plus 10-minutes for the veggies. For a 2 1/2 pound roast, I set the timer for 1-hour.

  • Let the Instant pot naturally release the steam for 15 minutes, then release the vent on top.

  • Remove the beef, shred, or chop. Remove the veggies and set aside to keep warm. Check the consistency of the gravy. If not thick enough, you can always create a slurry of corn starch to thicken the gravy more.
