Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 (2 pound) chuck roast trimmed of excess fat, or more to taste

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • cup water

  • ¼ cup tamari

  • 15 drops liquid stevia

  • 1 beef bouillon cube

  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into strips

  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder

  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Sauté function. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the pot. Sear chuck roast in hot oil until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove roast and set aside. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot. Cook and stir onion, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add water, tamari, stevia, and bouillon.

  2. Return roast to the pot. Close and lock the lid; set pressure to High and set the timer for 60 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove roast to a plate.

  4. Add red bell peppers to the pot and whisk in arrowroot. Set to Sauté mode; cook and stir until sauce is thickened and bell peppers are softened, about 5 minutes.

  5. Return roast to the pot; stir until heated through, about 3 minutes more. Top with chopped cilantro.

Tips

You can use coconut aminos instead of tamari if desired.
