This recipe makes 2 medium trays of Roast Beef, 1 medium tray of Veggies, 2 (4 cups each) medium trays of Gravy*

Directions:

  1. Add Round Roast, Onion, Carrots, and Beef Broth to your Instant Pressure Cooker, Put on slow cook, (crock pot mode) for 8 hours.
  2. Remove roast from pressure cooker, and set to side, remove vegetables and put in a different bowl and set aside. 
  3. Put the broth in the freezer to get the fat on the surface to remove from the broth.
  4. Next broil your roast for a few minutes (Broil at 450℉ for 10 minutes)
  5. Cut your roasts down, and place on a silicone or parchment lined trays (fills 2 trays), cover with a lid, and then freeze until solid. 
  6. Put the carrots, onions, and frozen peas and 4 Cups of water in your Pressure Cooker, bring those to a boil, and then tray up the veggies and a lined tray, cover and freeze.
  7. To make the gravy: 
    • Remover the fat from the top of the cold broth add the beef stock, to the vegetable broth, left from cooking peas and veggies, in your pressure cooker or a pan on the stove, and bring to a boil  (about 8 cups of beef broth)
    • Mix the cornstarch with cold water, add this to your boiling broth, stirring the entire time, cook until thickened. Let it cool, put 4 cups on a lined tray, freeze until solid.
