Herbs and spices give the beef an excellent flavor. I often serve this roast over noodles or with mashed potatoes, using the juices as a gravy. —Loren Martin, Big Cabin, Oklahoma

Directions

  1. Place roast in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Mix all remaining ingredients except noodles; pour over roast. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 50 minutes. Let pressure release naturally. A thermometer inserted in beef should read at least 145°.
  2. Discard bay leaf. If desired, skim fat and thicken cooking juices. Serve pot roast with noodles and juices.
