Pressure Cooker Mushroom Pot Roast

• 1 boneless beef chuck roast (3 to 4 pounds)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1-1/2 cups dry red wine or reduced-sodium beef broth
• 1-1/2 pounds sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms
• 2-1/2 cups thinly sliced onions
• 1-1/2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
• 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
• 3/4 cup chopped peeled parsnips
• 3/4 cup chopped celery
• 3/4 cup chopped carrots
• 8 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 bay leaves
• 1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• Mashed potatoes
• Chopped fresh parsley, optional

1. Halve roast; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Select saute or browning setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat; add 1-1/2 teaspoons oil. When oil is hot, brown a roast half on all sides. Remove; repeat with remaining beef and 1-1/2 teaspoons oil. Add wine to pressure cooker. Cook 2 minutes, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Press cancel. Return beef to pressure cooker.
2. Add mushrooms, onions, broth, tomato sauce, parsnips, celery, carrots, garlic, bay leaves, thyme and chili powder. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 60 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure. Press cancel. A thermometer inserted in beef should read at least 160u0b0.
3. Remove meat and vegetables to a serving platter; keep warm. Discard bay leaves. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer back to pressure cooker. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Select saute setting and adjust for low heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes, meat and vegetables. If desired, top with chopped parsley.
4. Place roast and vegetables in freezer containers; top with cooking juices. Cool and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a covered saucepan, stirring gently and adding a little broth if necessary.
