It was a beautiful fall day here an unusual warm day of
almost 70 deg. It was great to be out cooking. I was hungry for beef and
noodles. I went to my butcher looking for a nice arm roast; he didn’t have any
but had this nice English cut chuck roast. It has the short ribs included with
a chuck.
It was too big for my Instant Pot and for the wife and me. I
cut the ribs off and a tail piece to save and use for some Asian style ribs
later, I seasoned the roast with just some pepper to smoke on my Traeger first.
There would be enough salt in the onion soup and gravy mix.
I had wanted noodles but had almost a half head of cabbage
left from making kraut so I would have some Haluski. The roast went on my
Traeger at 3:00 PM for an hour of smoke at 195 deg. Then I seared it in my
Instant Pot on Sauté mode about 3 minutes per side. I then added some chopped
carrots and onions and let them cook a while until the onions started to brown.
I deglazed with some beer and then placed the roast on top. I mixed a packet of
Lipton’s beefy onion soup mix and Pioneer brown gravy with about 2 cups of
water and poured over the roast. I set
the IP to Meat Stew normal mode for 55 minutes.
When the beef was done I let set about 10 minutes then
released the steam, removed from the pot, and shredded; it was fall apart
tender. I added the meat back to the pot and set on slow cook normal while I
cooked the noodles and cabbage. When the noodles and cabbage was about done I
nuked some Bob Evans garlic mashed potatoes.
I served it all with some toasted English muffins and
butter. It sure was good tasting, the more I use my instant pot the more I like
it.
