How To Make cassie’s roast

  • 1
    Mince garlic and set aside. Add butter to the InstaPot and set to Sauté. Add two tablespoons flour or masa to a gallon size zip lock bag, add roast and shake to just coat. Sear roast on all sides in InstaPot until brown. This step is crucial to the flavor and juiciness of the roast. When meat is brown roast garlic for about one minute, then start adding all liquid Ingredients and other ingredients as well. Quarter onions and add.

    Top with the fresh Sage and Rosemary, the fragrance and flavor these add is incredible.
  • 3
    Turn InstaPot on manual and set timer to 50 minutes, do natural release. About 15 minutes. Take lid off carefully. Take out springs of the fresh herbs. Serve over white rice. Top with Sea Salt and Fresh Cracked Pepper.
