Set the pressure cooker to the Sauté function (or heat over medium-high on the stovetop if using a stovetop pressure cooker) and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the roast and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms and the meat releases easily from the pot. Transfer the roast to a plate.
