PREPARING THE FULLBLOOD WAGYU TOP ROUND ROASTBefore beginning this recipe, pull the top round roast from the refrigerator and take it out of the packaging. Let the Full-blood Wagyu roast sit on a plate at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour before searing it.Set the electric pressure cooker (chef used the Instant Pot) to the “saute” button.

Ensure that the whole bottom of the cooker is coated with the grapeseed oil.Pat dry the Fullblood Wagyu top round roast with a paper towel. Generously season one side of the beef with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the roast in the pressure cooker with the seasoned side face down. Brown for 5 minutes. Generously season the other side with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Brown this side for 5 minutes. Finally, brown the other sides of the roast for 3 minutes each.

PREPARING THE PRESSURE COOKER Allow the pressure cooker to heat up for 2 minutes and add the julienned yellow onion. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add in the minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Place the cut oranges on top of the onions and garlic.
