Instant Pot French Dip

Pressure Cooker Instructions

Season both sides of roast generously with kosher salt and pepper. Turn on pressure cooker to SAUTE HIGH and heat oil. Place seasoned beef in pot and sear for 5 minutes undisturbed. Use tongs to flip and sear for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.

Add sliced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Add garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Remove half the onions and garlic. Set aside for serving with sandwiches.

Add beef broth and deglaze, scraping up browned bits on bottom of the pot with wooden spoon. Add beer, worcestershire, dried minced onion, onion powder, and celery salt to the broth and onions. Stir. Add beef back to pot, nestling in the liquid. Place on lid and seal valve. Cook on HIGH pressure 45 minutes then allow pressure to naturally release 25 minutes. Let out any remaining pressure.

Remove meat to a large bowl. Remove pot from the instant pot and allow the au jus and the beef to rest for 10-15 minutes so meat is cool enough to handle. Use a fork to separate beef in big chunks and set aside. Cover with foil to keep warm.

Use skimmer to ladle out onions and add to meat bowl. Skim fat from au jus by using a fat separator or place the pot in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to cool down more and use a large spoon to skim top.

Pour broth back into serving bowl with meat or add to small bowls for dipping.

For sandwiches: Preheat oven to 375°F. Open up sliced hoagie buns and butter the insides. Place opened buns on a baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, add a slice of provolone cheese to each roll, and bake for 1 minute longer. Divide beef between buns and serve immediately with pepperoncini and bowls of au jus for dipping.
