Cooking in a pressure cooker cuts your cooking time down to about a third. In other words, if you would normally cook a roast for 3 hours it's only going to take 1 but keep in mind that were talking really high temperatures here. The pressure at which you cook the meat at will also cause the time to vary, as will as the fact that top round roasts have very little fat content, quite the opposite of a chuck roast. I usually cook a 3 lb top round roast for about an hour. The process is basically the same as what you would normally cook a top round roast at except for a few added steps.

Heat up your pressure cooker and add about 2 to 3 tablespoons oil. Cut your roast into four equal parts, salt and pepper each piece and then brown on all sides. Remove meat from cooker and add about 1 cup beef broth along with 3/4 cup Italian salad dressing. If your presser cooker has a lift pan to keep the meat off of the bottom of the pan while cooking, insert it at this time and cover. Cook for about 1 hour. If you would like to include potatoes and carrots with this meal, have your potatoes and carrots cut, seasoned and ready to go once the roast is done cooking. When the roast is done cooking, take the entire cooker (lid still on!) over to the sink and run cold water over it. This will very quickly bring the internal pressure down to normal allowing you to open the cooker and add your vegetables (unless your roast is completely falling apart, leave the roast in the cooker and add vegetables on top, other wise remove the meat and keep covered and warm). Return cooker to the stove top, replace lid and bring the pressure back up. Once the pressure is where you want it cook for an additional 20 minutes.

How to cook slow cook meals on stove?

If you can slow cook in the oven it would be better, because less moisture will escape. The direct flame underneath your pot on the stove will simmer the food and eventually all the moisture will escape. Adding more water to avoid burning will not enhance the flavour. If you have to cook on the stove then adding more water is unavoidable.
