• 1 large red onion, quartered
• 4 stalks celery, cut into large chunks

1. Place onion, celery, baby carrots, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor; pulse to coarsely chop.
2. Coat roast generously with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season both sides with salt and black pepper.
3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Cook roast until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer roast to a large plate.
4. Place chopped vegetable mixture in the pressure cooker; cook and stir until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine and cook until flavors combine, about 1 minute. Pour in broth and apple cider. Stir in thyme and bay leaves into sauce. Place roast back in the cooker; spoon sauce to cover roast as much as possible.
