Instructions
 

INSTANT POT COOKING DIRECTIONS:

  • Run cold water over the outside of your frozen gallon freezer bag to gently defrost the frozen food from the bag (enough to dump it out and release the food from the side of the frozen bag). Place meal in Instant Pot. Place lid on pressure cooker and seal the valve. Cook on manual high pressure for 45 minutes. Let pressure naturally release.
  • *Note the internal temp of your Italian Peppered Beef Roast. If the internal temp is not reached place back in IP for 10 minutes and check again. Because of the variables with pressure cooking, it’s not always a perfect science and sometimes needs additional adjustments. The USDA recommendations a minimum internal temperature of 16o degrees for beef.

SLOW COOKER COOKING DIRECTIONS:

  • For the slow cooker just set out your Italian Peppered Beef Roast the night before to defrost in the refrigerator.
  • The next day pull your Italian Peppered Beef Roast out of the freezer bag. Place it in your slow cooker and cook for 8-10 hours on low until meat can be shredded easily with a fork (slow cooker times may vary so always check the internal temperature to complete doneness). Serve with family favorite sides.
