The first step to make Instant Pot Sirloin Roast with Mashed Potatoes was to peel and cut the potatoes. How many depends on how many people you have eating the meal. I used 6 large potatoes and then placed them in a steamer basket.
The next step was to pour the olive oil into the Instant Pot and turn the Pot to the saute function. I also sprinkled in a teaspoon of Montreal Steak Spice for extra flavour.
Then I lowered the sirloin roast into the Instant Pot and sprinkled about a half teaspoon of Montreal Steak Spice on top of it.
I seared the sirloin roast on both sides for about 3 minutes a side.
Using a large serving fork I removed the roast to a plate, turned the sauté function off and added in the beef broth. I made sure to scrape all the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
This deglazing step is very important.
After deglazing, I placed the trivet in the Pot and lowered the seared roast on top of it.
I placed the steamer basket full of potatoes on top of the roast.
Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 32 minutes.
When the Instant Pot was done cooking, I allowed it to natural release for 8 minutes.
Then I turned the steam release handle to the venting position to finish with a quick release.
After removing the lid I used oven mitts to carefully remove the steamer basket full of potatoes and the roast.
I also poured off the broth. To 2 cups of broth I added the two packets of beef gravy mix and placed it in the microwave for 3 minutes stirring once.
While the gravy was cooking I returned the potatoes to the Instant Pot and added some of the remaining broth and 2 tablespoons of margarine.
I used a potato masher to make the mashed potatoes.
This Instant Pot Sirloin Roast with Mashed Potatoes is an easy and comforting dinner that brings all the flavours of a traditional roast meal to the table with less cooking time. The tender beef pairs perfectly with fluffy mashed potatoes, making this a hearty meal the whole family can enjoy.
Serve this Instant Pot sirloin roast with your favorite vegetables or a simple salad for a complete dinner. Whether you're looking for an easy Sunday dinner, a comforting family meal, or a simple pressure cooker beef recipe, this roast is a delicious option you'll want to make again and again.

How long do we cook it without the potatos?
Hi Sarah,
I am pretty sure you would cook it the same amount of time. It would probably take less time to come to pressure without the potatoes. I chose the cooking time based on the roast.
Kathleen
Why does a diff instant pot recipe say cook 5 minutes and naturally release for 30 minutes using the keep warm method to slow cook? Did urs turn out dry or juicy?
Hi Kim,
Mine did not turn out dry.
Take care,
Kathleen
