Generously season all sides of your roast with salt and pepper. Set Instant Pot onto sauté mode. Once the Instant Pot is hot, add in half of your vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add your roast. Sear for 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and sear the opposite side for 4 minutes. Remove roast and set aside.

Add remaining vegetable oil to the pot, along with diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. When soft and fragrant, add in red wine and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the wine reduces to half. Add in half of your beef broth, tomato sauce, dried thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and give it a good mix. Carefully add your roast back into the pot along with carrots and potatoes.

Secure the Instant Pot lid and pressure cook on high for 70 minutes. Once 70 minutes is up, let your Instant Pot naturally release pressure for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you can release any excess steam. Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside.
