- Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir and add the roast back in.

- Once the program ends, quickly release the steam.
- Remove the lid, add potatoes and carrots, secure the lid, and set the vent to SEALING. Choose the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting for 10 minutes at high pressure.
- When time is up, naturally release the steam for 10 minutes, then quickly release the rest.
- Remove beef and veggies on a serving platter, shred the beef, and thicken the sauce.
