Notes
To make this Instant Pot Roast gluten free, use a certified gluten-free French onion mix or replace it with a homemade gluten-free seasoning blend.
Confirm that the beef broth is certified gluten free, as some broths may contain additives or flavorings with gluten.
Use plain chuck roast that has not been pre-marinated or seasoned with gluten-containing ingredients.
Verify that all packaged ingredients, including seasoning mixes and broth, are labeled gluten free.
Use clean utensils, cutting boards, and preparation surfaces to prevent gluten cross-contact.
If serving someone with celiac disease or a serious gluten sensitivity, confirm all labels before cooking.
