Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 pounds beef cross rib roast, surface fat removed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons avocado oil, or more as needed
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
¼ cup dry red wine
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon browning sauce
8 slices provolone cheese, or to taste
8 ciabatta rolls, split

Steps:

Let roast come to room temperature, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) on Saute mode. Add roast; sear on all sides until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from pot.
Add more oil if necessary; add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour wine into the pot and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom with a wooden spoon.
Add roast, beef broth, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, parsley, thyme, and pepper to the pot; stir. Close and lock the lid. Select Meat/Stew function according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 60 minutes.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, at least 20 minutes.
Remove roast and transfer to a bowl. Strain broth through a fine-mesh strainer. Skim the fat from the top and add browning sauce. Shred beef using 2 forks and add 1 cup of the broth. Divide remaining broth between individual ramekins.
Place provolone cheese on 1/2 of the ciabatta slices and toast all the bread until cheese has melted. Add beef to each sandwich and dip each into broth to serve.

INSTANT POT FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES

Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches image

Marv's Instant Pot French Dip sandwich is better than anything you'd find at a restaurant. The roast cooks for a while in the pressure cooker so the meat becomes extremely tender and just falls apart. The au jus is packed with flavor and is fantastic for dinner. Super simple, this French Dip is seriously delicious.

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 lb beef chuck roast, boneless
3 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
3 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
3 clove finely chopped garlic
1 large brown onion, roughly chopped
3/4 c dry red wine
3 c beef stock
6 French rolls, split
12 slice provolone cheese

Steps:

1. Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper.
2. Press sauté and add olive oil to the Instant Pot.
3. When a few droplets of water sizzle it's ready to place the roast into the pot. Sear both sides of the roast until the surfaces are browned. Remove the roast to a clean plate and set aside.
4. Add the onion to the pan and sauté until the onion is soft. Add the garlic and sauté for one minute.
5. Add the wine and allow the wine to evaporate to about one half.
6. Add the beef stock and the roast.
7. Place lid and make sure the pressure knob is set to "seal". Set the timer for 110 minutes. Walk away.
8. Allow a natural release for 20 minutes then, carefully, do a quick release.
9. Remove the lid and take the roast out and shred the meat. The meat will be falling apart so you won't have a difficult job.
10. Strain the Au Jus into a large bowl through a fine sieve.
11. I like to toast the rolls, place a slice of cheese on each side and place the meat between. The cheese should melt on its own but, you have the option to place the sandwiches under the broiler for 30 seconds.
12. Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal and serve with a small bowl of Au Jus. Enjoy.

Tips:

For a more flavorful sandwich, use a high-quality deli roast beef. Look for one that is thinly sliced and has a good amount of marbling.
If you don't have an instant pot, you can make this sandwich in a slow cooker. Cook the roast beef on low for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
To make the au jus, you can use beef broth, chicken broth, or even water. If you use water, be sure to add some beef bouillon cubes or granules to give it flavor.
Serve the French dip sandwiches with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

The Instant Pot French Dip Sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The roast beef is cooked to perfection in the Instant Pot, and the au jus is rich and flavorful. The sandwiches are served on toasted hoagie rolls and topped with melted cheese. This sandwich is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
