5. Deglaze the pot with beef stock, scraping off any bits stuck to the bottom with a wooden spoon. Switch off the SAUTE setting.
6. Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir and add the roast back in.
7. Secure the lid, set the vent to SEALING, and choose the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting for 60 minutes at high pressure.
8. Once the program ends, quickly release the steam.
9. Remove the lid, add potatoes and carrots, secure the lid, and set the vent to SEALING. Choose the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting for 10 minutes at high pressure.
10. When time is up, naturally release the steam for 10 minutes, then quickly release the rest.
11. Remove beef and veggies on a serving platter, shred the beef, and thicken the sauce.
12. To thicken the sauce, switch on the SAUTE setting, add the corn starch slurry, and whisk until thickened.
