- 2 tbs of cornstarch

Instructions
1 -Start by cutting the chuck roast into 4 to 6 pieces, separating at the seams to be able to see the fat deposits (if using a highly marbled chuck roast). Using a knife cut as much fat as possible from the pieces of the roast.
Dont worry about taking every little part of fat from the meat but take enough so your gravy is not extremely greasy. After that place the pieces on a plate.
2- Now mix the spice rub ingredients in a small bowl. Now rub it all in on the pieces of meat, and use your hands to push the spices right into the meat.
3- Press the SAUTÉ button on the Instant Pot and the ADJUST button to toggle the MORE setting. Wait until the display reads “HOT” before adding the ingredients.
4- Include 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the heated pot. Include half of the seasoned beef (or as much as will fit easily without being crowded) and then sauté for 2 to 3 mins per side, or up until is nicely seared. Now plate the seared pieces and continue with the rest add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the pan. Once you are done set them aside to continue with the rest of the recipe.

6- Add the red wine, broth, and also Worcestershire sauce. Nestle the pieces of browned beef down right into the sauce and then add the potatoes and carrots . Don’t mix. You want the meat submerged in fluid and the carrots and potatoes on the top.
