Add in the cubed chuck roast and sear on all sides.
Add the minced, garlic, chopped carrots, onions, and mushrooms.
Press cancel.
Add the red wine and deglaze the pot by scraping any stuck-on bits off the bottom of the inner liner. If anything is stuck to the bottom it will result in a “burn” notice.
Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, and basil.
Add in the tomato paste and the low sodium beef broth.
Create the bouquet garni by using kitchen twine to tie together the fresh parsley, thyme, and bay leaves. You can also lay them on top of the pot but may need to pick through to remove them later.
Close the lid and set it to HIGH PRESSURE/MANUAL for 45 minutes.
Allow a natural release of 10 minutes before removing the lid.*
Once the lid is removed, set the Instant Pot to Sauté and discard the bouquet garni.
Mix together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry and add it to the pot.
Stir to mix and allow the sauce to thicken.
Press cancel and serve with mashed potatoes if desired.
