Herbs and spices give the beef an excellent flavor. I often serve this roast over noodles or with mashed potatoes, using the juices as a gravy. —Loren Martin, Big Cabin, Oklahoma

Ingredients

1 boneless beef chuck roast (2-1/2 pounds), halved
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup white vinegar
3 tablespoons tomato puree
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 bay leaf
2-1/4 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Hot cooked egg noodles

Directions

Place roast in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Mix all remaining ingredients except noodles; pour over roast. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 50 minutes. Let pressure release naturally. A thermometer inserted in beef should read at least 145°.
Discard bay leaf. If desired, skim fat and thicken cooking juices. Serve pot roast with noodles and juices. Freeze option: Place pot roast 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 water if necessary.
