How to Make Keto Roast in Instant Pot?

• Season and Brown Roast – Season the roast with salt and pepper.  Then add the oil to the instant pot on the sauté setting.  Once heated through, add the roast and brown all the sides of the roast. 
• Make the Glaze – Then remove the roast.  Add the red wine and use it to deglaze the bottom of the instant pot insert and scrape off any pieces off the bottom of the instant pot insert. 
• Add Ingredients to Instant Pot – Then add in the beef broth, minced garlic, worcestershire sauce and Italian seasoning to the instant pot. 
• Cook – Seal and cook on the high pressure setting for 65 minutes and then release naturally the pressure for 20 minutes after this cook time. 
• Prepare the Vegetables – While the roast is cooking, prepare and cut the vegetables. 
• Add Vegetables – Then add the diced vegetables to the instant pot.  Seal and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. 
• Pressure Release – Do a quick release to release the pressure from the instant pot after this cook time. 

• Shred the Beef – Remove the beef and vegetables from the instant pot.  Shred the beef.  If the beef is not shreddable, cook it for 10-15 more minutes in the instant pot. 
• Make Gravy – Then to make the gravy, switch the instant pot to the sauté setting.  Whisk the xanthan gum into the juices in the instant pot.  Continue to whisk and thicken until the gravy thickens. 
• Serve and Enjoy – Serve the roast alongside the carrots, onions and radishes topped with the gravy and enjoy! We like to season with salt and black pepper.

What to serve with Keto Pot Roast:

• Cauliflower Rice – If you are eating keto or low carb, try this roast with Cauliflower Rice.  We also really love this Easy Cheesy Cauliflower Rice Recipe.
• Bacon Wrapped Green Beans – While this looks fancy, bacon wrapped green beans make an easy side dish. The bacon gives the green beans the best flavor. This side is a good option if you are on keto or doing low carb.
• Roasted Asparagus – Asparagus only takes a few minutes to cook and pairs nicely with roast. If you need a veggie in minutes, this is the one to try. We made these in the oven but you can also use the air fryer.
• 23 Sides to Serve with Pot Roast – We have gathered 23 sides that are great with pot roast. There also sides for those in your family that may not be following the keto diet.

What is a Good Substitute for Potatoes in Pot Roast?

• Turnips
• Rutabaga
• Radishes
• Cauliflower

Tips for the Best Low Carb Pot Roast:

• Instant Pot Recommendation – You will need an electric pressure cooker for this recipe. I am using an 8 quart Instant pot but you can use a 6 quart if you prefer.
• Adding Vegetables – Make sure to add the vegetables after the roast has finished cooking in the pressure cooker. This will prevent them from getting mushy.
• Cut of Meat – Make sure to use a tougher type of meat that will hold up. Try using rump roast, chuck roast, brisket or round roast. The pressure cooker will make it tender.
• Brown Roast – It is not necessary but you can sear the roast prior to cooking. Just use the saute setting and put the roast inside with about a tablespoon of oil. Sear for a couple of minutes per side until it is browned.
• Pick the Best Roast – Look for a roast that has a lot of marbling. This will result in a tender finished product.
• Cut Roast – If you are short on time, cut the roast into pieces. I would suggest 2 to 3? pieces and reduce the cooking time to 40 minutes.
• Dutch Oven – This roast can also be prepared in your Dutch Oven.

More ideas for Keto Instant Pot Roast:

You can change this recipe up lots of various ways. Green beans are also good added to the roast. These are great options if you want to make this a one pot meal.

Sometimes I will add veggies if it is a really busy week. That way I have less to do and everything I need is already in the pressure cooker. The veggies taste awesome from all the flavors of the roast.

Another options is to make Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes. Cauliflower rice is also a good option. If it is seasoned correctly, most people won’t know the difference.

Do you need to Brown the Roast before cooking?

It is totally optional but you can can brown the roast first if you want for extra added flavor. The roast is amazing either way but this does add a little extra flavor.

No worries if you skip this step though because the roast will still turn out fabulous. I am always running behind it seems so truthfully, I often skip this step.

The roast is amazing however you make it.

This recipe is great for warmer months and colder months. It is truly the perfect roast recipe to enjoy any time of the year. From traditional roast to tacos and more, this is a great recipe all year.

The pressure cooker gets dinner on the table fast so you don’t have to heat up the oven all day. This makes it even better to enjoy during those hot summer months.

How to Store Leftovers:

Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 3-5 days or you can freeze the leftovers for up to 3 months.

We usually don’t have a lot of leftovers, but when we do this is the perfect lunch. I like to place in individual containers with some vegetables.

The pot roast reheats well in the microwave and taste amazing the second day.
