Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 lb beef roast
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the beef roast from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature, which ensures more even cooking.
- Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve better browning.
- Season the roast generously on all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
- Turn on the Ninja Foodi and select the "Sear/Sauté" function. Add a tablespoon of oil and allow it to heat up until shimmering.
- Carefully place the roast in the Ninja Foodi and sear each side for 3-4 minutes to develop a rich, golden-brown crust, creating deep flavor foundations.
- Remove the roast and set aside. Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing until they become fragrant and slightly translucent.
- Return the roast to the Ninja Foodi, and pour beef broth around the meat, ensuring it doesn't fully cover the roast.
- Close the lid and set the Ninja Foodi to pressure cook on high for 60 minutes, with the valve set to "Sealing".
- Once cooking is complete, allow natural pressure release for 15 minutes, then carefully do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
- Remove the roast and let it rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result.
- Slice the roast against the grain into thin slices and serve with the remaining cooking liquid as a delicious au jus.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always let your beef roast sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
- Pat Dry for Perfect Searing: Use paper towels to remove excess moisture from the roast, which is crucial for achieving that beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with salt and pepper. Press the seasonings into the meat to create a flavorful exterior.
- Searing is Key: Take your time when searing each side of the roast. Those 3-4 minutes develop deep, rich flavors that will make your roast extraordinary.
- Natural Pressure Release: Allow the roast to naturally release pressure for 15 minutes after cooking. This helps keep the meat tender and juicy.
- Resting is Crucial: Always let your roast rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every slice is moist and delicious.
- Slice Against the Grain: When serving, cut the roast against the grain to guarantee the most tender, easy-to-chew slices.
