Roast With Onion-and-Mushroom Gravy

Ingredients

• 1 (2- to 3-pound) boneless chuck roast, trimmed
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
• 1 (1-ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
• 2 beef bouillon cubes
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Preparation

1. Sprinkle roast evenly with pepper; place in a 6-quart pressure cooker. Add mushroom soup and next 3 ingredients.
2. Cover cooker with lid, and seal securely; place pressure control over vent and tube. Cook over medium-high heat 20 minutes or until pressure control rocks quickly back and forth. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 20 more minutes.
3. Remove from heat; run cold water over cooker to reduce pressure. Carefully remove lid so that steam escapes away from you.
4. Remove roast, and keep warm. Stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water; add to liquid in pressure cooker. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute. Serve gravy with roast.
