Add meat and brown on all sides. Meanwhile, coarsely chop vegetables. Remove roast to a plate. Pour out any darkened oil from cooker. Heat 1 tablespoon (15 mL) oil in cooker over medium heat. Add vegetables. Stir often for 5 minutes. Place roast on top of vegetables. Add broth and wine. Lock lid in place. Bring cooker up to full pressure over high heat. Then reduce heat to medium-low, just to maintain even pressure. Cook until roast is tender, from 60 to 70 minutes. Remove from heat and release pressure quickly. Place roast on a platter. Tent with foil. In a food processor, purée vegetables and liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over sliced meat.
