Italian Beef Sandwiches (Slow Cooker, Stovetop, or Instant Pot)

For Instant Pot:

1. Turn on the sauté function on the Instant Pot and heat some oil.
2. Sear the beef chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. In a bowl, mix together the Italian dressing mix, au jus gravy mix, minced garlic, beef broth, and sliced pepperoncini peppers (if using).
4. Pour the mixture over the beef roast in the Instant Pot.
5. Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes.
6. Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 15 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
7. Open the lid and shred the beef using two forks. Mix it with the juices in the Instant Pot.
8. Serve the shredded Italian beef on hoagie rolls or sandwich buns. Top with provolone cheese slices and sliced pepperoncini peppers if desired.

Enjoy your delicious Italian Beef Sandwiches!

• Roast Suggestions:For the most tender and flavorful beef, you will want to use a chuck or a rump roast. These are traditionally less expensive cuts of meat, and should be easily found in the meat section of your grocery store.
• Storage and Reheating Instructions:Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat single servings in the microwave in 30 second increments until warmed through.
• Freezer Instructions:We recommend portioning out your meat by the pound (or less). Store in quart sized freezer bags for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw in your refrigerator overnight.
