Recipe Tips
For a more flavorful roast, you can marinate the beef with some garlic, herbs, and olive oil before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and give it more flavor.
If you have time, you can cook the roast on low pressure for an even more tender and juicy roast.
To make a complete meal, serve the roast with mashed potatoes or egg noodles, and a green vegetable such as green beans or broccoli.
