Just give it some more time. Cook for another 6 minutes on high pressure.

Can you cook meat and vegetables at the same time in an instant pot?

Toss the veggies in garlic, herbs, spices, and oil, then arrange in the pot. Top with the meat. Place rosemary sprigs on top. Pressure cook for 13 minutes, with 5 minutes natural release before venting completely.

Do you put the vegetables or the roast in first on the crock pot?

Layer wisely: For even cooking, cut food into uniform-size pieces. Place firm, slow-cooking root vegetables like potatoes and carrots at the bottom of the crock and pile the meat on top.

Should I use a trivet when cooking a roast in an instant pot?

It's helpful to have a trivet with handles like the one that comes with Instant Pot. Close the lid, and set the valve to sealing. Use the manual (pressure cook) button to adjust the time to 50 minutes.

Why is my instant pot roast tough?

What if my pot roast is tough? If after cooking the pot roast, it is still tough, all you need to do is cook it longer. If the beef is still tough, it just needs more time for the braise to do it's magic and break down the connective tissues in the beef.
