Easy Instant Pot Tri-Tip Roast

Print Recipe
Preparing a Tri-Tip roast in your instant pot is an easy way to make a delicious meal your entire family will love with way less cooking time than other methods.
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2.5 – 3 pounds tri-tip beef roast
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups of beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons of dry rub or seasoning blend of your preference

Instructions

Step One

  • Begin by massaging the dry rub or seasoning mix plus the salt and pepper into the roast.
  • Turn the saute function on your Instant Pot and sear the meat for about a minute on each side. Remove the meat from the pressure cooker once you’re done searing it.

Step Two

  • Place your instant pot trivet (or this amazing sling) in the bottom of the pot. Place the tri-tip on the trivet.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the bottom of the pot. Pour the beef broth over the tri-tip.
  • Place the lid on the pot and make sure the valve is closed.
  • Set the Instant Pot to high pressure and use the manual button to set the cook time to 25 minutes.

Step Three

  • Perform a quick-release on the instant pot when the timer goes off.
  • Once it is safe to remove the lid, carefully remove the meat to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then slice or shred it for serving.
