Texas Barbecue Pot Roast
- Serves: 8 to 10
- Prep Time: Overnight
- Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/4 Cup of dark Brown Sugar
- 1/2 Cup of Soy sauce or Teriyaki
- 1/2 Cup of Apricot preserves
- 1/2 Cup of ketchup
- 1/4 Cup of White Vinegar
- 1/4 Teaspoon of Pepper
- 1 Teaspoon of Dry Mustard
- 1 Teaspoon of crushed Dried Red Pepper
- 1 Large sliced Onion (yellow or white)
- 1 1/2 Cups of water if cooking Beef Or 2 cups if Pork
- 4 to 4 1/2 pounds of Beef bottom round or Pork roast
Instructions
First begin with preparing the barbecue sauce by mixing the following ingredients: dark brown sugar, teriyaki, apricot preserves, ketchup, white vinegar, pepper, dried red peppers, and mustard, place your selected roast including the sauce into a large plastic bag, let it sit overnight in your refrigerator.
The next day, in your Electric Pressure Cooker, place water and your steamer basket or cooking rack and cover with half of the sliced onions, then place the roast on the onions and remaining onions on the roast. Be sure to save any left over sauce for later. Make sure to close the Pressure Cooker lid securely. Its recommended that you cook at 15 pounds per pressure and allow the following per pound for cooking: 8-10 minutes for rare, 10-15 minutes for medium rare and 15-20 minutes for well done, the exception is Pork meat which should be cooked a little longer, normally 20 minutes per pound. Depending what type of Pressure Cooker you own let the pressure drop at its normal rate. While waiting for the meat to finish pressure cooking work on the left over sauce by simmering it in a saucepan and be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning.
Once the roast meat is done, take it out of your Pressure Cooker and slice the meat accordingly, use the onions to mix with the barbecue sauce that you have previously simmered (puree the onions in your blender) and add to the sauce. You are ready to serve your sliced Texas pot roast and barbecue sauce to your family or guests.
