Put browned roast in crockpot, and smear top roast with 1 can cream of mushroom soup (& no additional liquid)
Sprinkle 1 envelope of dry Lipton onion soup on top of the mushroom soup (& no liquid to this soup either)
Now add 1 can of beef boullion or beef broth or beef consume soup around roast so it hits bottom of crock pot. If it is a giant roast, add 1/2 can of water too. Cook until tender (4-6hrs). You can do this in an oven bag, in the oven at 325-350 for 4/6 hrs too and I'm sure it works in you instant pot too. Anyway the flavor is wonderful, add celery, carrots, potatoes etc 1 hr before meat is done if you like that too (or cheat and cook those in the pressure cooker, but if you do the veg in a pressure cooker, the flavors don't meld together. You still have to combine them and simmer a while to get the flavors to merge. Good luck, better than marinating.
