I just had a small (like 1.5 pounds?) roast. I had bought a big chuck roast and cut it in 3 pieces and froze it.

Here’s what I did:
Instant Pot on saute - add a little vegetable oil
Chop 1/2 small onion and a few fresh mushrooms.
Season the roast with seasoning salt, pepper and garlic powder well on both sides.
Drop in IP to start browning on one side.
Drop chopped veggies around the roast as it sears.
Sear 2-3 minutes on each side of roast, moving veggies around as it sears.
Stop saute and remove roast. Add a cup of water - stir to get the brown bits off the bottom of IP.
I added half of these vegetables to the broth: 1/4 of a small cabbage, a handful of creamer potatoes, handful of baby carrots.
Then I put in a trivet thing I have (to keep the roast from not being submerged in the broth), set the roast on it and add the other half of the vegetables mentioned above!
Sprinkle a handful of chopped parsley.

24 minutes on manual, natural release. It was really good! The broth SUPER flavorful!
