Steps:
- Liberally season the chuck roast on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Turn Pressure Cooker to Saute, add oil, and let heat. Once the oil is heated, add the beef to the inner pot and sear on each side until golden, about 2-4 minutes per side.
- Once the roast is evenly seared, turn the instant pot off and remove the roast to a plate.
- Pour in 1 cup of the beef stock into the inner pot and scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the inner pot.
- Pour in the remaining 3 cups of stock. Add in 2 garlic cloves, sliced onions, and the soy sauce to the pressure cooker. Return the beef back to the inner pot.
- Place the lid on the pressure cooker and be sure the vent knob is pointed towards sealed. Set to cook on high pressure for 20 minutes per pound. For a 3-pound roast, this is 60 minutes.
- Once the cooking time has elapsed, allow the pressure cooker to naturally release for AT LEAST 10 minutes, but 15-20 minutes is best, before manually releasing pressure.
- Remove the roast from the inner pot and place it into a large mixing bowl and turn the pressure cooker back to saute. (Hit Cancel/Off THEN Saute). Let the cooking liquid reduce with the instant pot open, while you shred the beef and toast the buns so that it intensifies in flavor and reduces slightly.
- Use 2 forks or a hand-held mixer to shred the beef.
- Place the rolls, opened, on a sheet pan. Spread a light layer of butter or drizzle with olive oil. Toast for 5 minutes in a 400-degree F oven or carefully and quickly using a broiler until just browned. Remove rolls from the oven and rub the garlic clove over inside of the roll.
- Layer meat and 2 slices of cheese on each roll and return to the oven until cheese melts, cooking for about 3 minutes.
- Turn off the saute function on the inner pot. Lade up the au jus into bowls, straining first if desired. Serve with the french dips.

FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES
An old-school diner sandwich, a French dip is really only as good as the bread it's made with- which should be a baguette or a narrow French loaf that is decidedly crunchy, not soft and gummy. If the baguette is soft, put it in a 300°F oven for perhaps 10 minutes to get it crisp. That way, it'll stand up to the "dip" (the pan juices) without becoming soggy. There's a slight chance the cooked beef might still be pink inside, depending on the thickness and density of the frozen shaved beef. If the meat is pink, turn the pot to HIGH on its SAUTÉ function after cooking under pressure and breaking up the beef. Cook, stirring often, until the meat is cooked through, about 2 minutes.

- Lightly butter the inside of the baguette slices. Use tongs to transfer the strips of meat to the buns to make sandwiches. Pour the (hot!) liquid from the cooker into a serving bowl or small soup bowls. Use this broth as a dip for the sandwiches.

Steps:
- Season Roast: Start by seasoning the chuck roast with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Make sure to rub in the spices and evenly coat the roast.
- Sear Roast: Turn on 'Sauté' and adjust the heat level to 'More'. Allow the pot to heat up until the display reads 'Hot' and then add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up. Next, place the chuck roast in the pot and sear undisturbed on one side for at least 5 minutes or until it's nicely browned. Then, turn the roast over and brown on the other side. Once the roast has browned nicely on all sides, remove it from the Instant Pot and set aside. Leave the browned bits in the bottom of the pot.
- Sauté Onion: Add the sliced onion to the Instant Pot and sauté, deglazing the bottom of the pot and tossing the onion in the browned bits as they cook. Continue to sauté the onions until they are a golden brown and starting to caramelize. About 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add Red Wine: Add the red wine to the onions and cook, continuing to deglaze the bottom of the pot, until the wine is reduced by half. About 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add Soy Sauce, Stock & Roast: Add the soy sauce and beef stock to the pot, place the chuck roast back into the pot and then add the bay leaf. Turn off the Sauté function.
- 100-Minute Cook Time: Close the Instant Pot, set the pressure release valve to 'Sealing' and set the pot to cook on 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook', 'High Pressure' for 100 minutes.
- 25-Minute NPR: Once the 100-minute cook time has completed, allow for a 25-minute Natural Pressure Release. When the 25-minute NPR has finished, release the remaining pressure and then open the pot.
- Serve Roast: The chuck roast is ready to serve. It will fall apart as you try to remove it from the pot. I usually serve it straight from the pot, pulling pieces of meat off the roast using my metal tongs. I'll then scoop out some of the juice (au jus) with a ladle and serve it in a small ramekin for dipping.
- Toast Bread: Cut each loaf of french bread into 2 to 4 sections (depending on length), butter each side and toast on a skillet.
- Add Cheese & Roast: Place two slices of provolone cheese on the bread and serve the roast over the top of the cheese.
- Enjoy the best French Dip sandwiches ever!

INSTANT POT FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES
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.

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.

Steps:
- Place roast in greased the Instant Pot. Pour consommé over the top of the roast.
- Put the lid on and turn the knob to sealing.
- Push the manual or pressure cook button and set the timer for 75 minutes (25 minutes per pound of roast).
- When it is done cooking, let it do a natural release for at least 1 hour. This will make your meat very tender and fall-apart, so I highly recommend it! (Sometimes I will let the roast sit in the Instant Pot on warm for 6-8 hours and it makes it SO good!) Turn the valve to venting to let any remaining pressure release.
- Remove roast and save extra juice for dipping! With 2 forks, shred roast (when it is done, it should pull apart easily . . . almost fall apart).
- Serve meat on buns and use extra juice to dip sandwiches in.

Tips:
- To make the most tender and flavorful sandwich, use high-quality French bread or hoagie rolls. If you can, get them from a local bakery.
- Choose a good quality au jus mix or gravy. You can also make your own using beef broth, red wine, and herbs.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. Swiss, provolone, and cheddar are all great options.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked roast beef or steak. Just make sure to heat it thoroughly before assembling the sandwiches.
- For a healthier version of this classic sandwich, use whole-wheat bread or rolls and lean roast beef or steak.
