I have updated this recipe to be more flavorful and easier. Instant Pot French dip sandwiches are an easy meal prepare for a large group of people! The peppers and onions give them more of a Philly cheesesteak flair.
Heat the Instant Pot on saute until it says “hot”. Sear on each side for 8 minutes:
2 lbs. beef roast cut to a 2″ thickness (I usually use rump or chuck roast.)
Remove the roast from the pot and saute until starting to brown:
1 onion, sliced
Add to the pot and saute for 1 more minute:
1 T. minced garlic
Add all of the following to the pot, making sure to scrape any stuck bits from the bottom (deglazing):
3/4 c. chicken broth
1 T. soy sauce
1 T. fish sauce
2 t. Worcestershire sauce
the meat
Cook the meat at high pressure for 45 minutes, then natural release (20-25 minutes). Remove the meat from the pot to shred it.
While the meat is cooking, slice and cook in a frying pan until softened and starting to brown:
2 large onions, sliced
2 red bell peppers, sliced
Prepare the sandwiches by toasting under the broiler:
1 loaf French bread
8 oz. of your favorite white cheese (Provolone, Swiss, etc.)
Layer the meat and veggies on the toasted bread and cut into pieces. Serve by dipping the sandwiches into the broth. I don’t think Instant Pot French dip sandwiches are very French at all, but they are delicious!
