When 60 minutes is up, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, carefully release any remaining pressure, and remove the lid.
Shred the roast using two forks. Serve with any remaining liquid at the bottom of the pot, and enjoy!

Notes

You can use a packet of brown gravy mix instead of au jus if desired. This will create a thicker gravy.
Rump roast is slightly more tender than chuck roast, so I recommend giving it a try. However, you can use either rump roast or chuck roast for this dish.
To make gravy out of the Instant Pot roast drippings, measure out a cup of the drippings from the pot. Whisk it together with 2 Tablespoons cornstarch mixed with ¼ cup water, then simmer in the Instant Pot on saute mode for several minutes until thickened to your liking.
