Notes
- Roasts get tender with time. If your roast isn't as tender as you would like, cook it a little longer. Our 3 lb roast was fall apart tender after 60 minutes of cooker.
- If you don't like mushrooms, you can leave them out.
- We LOVE baby bellas in this recipe, but white buttons will work too. Canned mushrooms (drained) could also work in a pinch.

First let me say, you have found a HUGE
“Golden Girl” fan in me!!! I LOVE the Golden Girls!
Second this recipe is delicious! My husband love mushrooms as much as I dislike them. In order for both of us to enjoy this recipe I didn’t add mushrooms. I chose to saute them separately and add them to his plate. I added onion, carrots and celery to my Instant Pot. I served my roast beef with mashed potatoes, green beans, brussel sprouts and a nice salad. It was melt in your mouth tender. Gravy is extremely important to my husband and he loved this Italian gravy.
Me too, Linda! I love the way you handled the preferences in your house! Sounds like a delicious dinner! I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed it!
