Instant Pot 3-Packet Pot Roast is the most flavorful roast ever. Flavored with Italian dressing, brown gravy, and Ranch seasoning, this easy dinner recipe is sure to become one of your most requested meals.

 
I like to serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Peas or green beans make a great side.
The 3 packets of seasoning are Ranch seasoning, brown gravy, and Italian dressing mix and they not only season the beef but form a rich, salty gravy that is absolutely delectable.
This recipe only takes about 10 minutes to prep and then it cooks in the Instant Pot for 90 minutes followed by a 15 miutes Natural Pressure Release.
In addition to the 3 packets, the only other ingredients are a little vegetable oil to sear the meat in (don’t skip this step. It adds so much flavor.), a cup of beef broth, and a little cornstrach if you want to thicken the gravy up some.

It will keep in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. And it freezes well.
