Best 4 Open Faced Pot Roast Sandwich Recipes

INSTANT POT OPEN-FACED HOT BEEF SANDWICHES RECIPE

Steps:

• Generously season the roast on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• Add the roast to the Instant Pot.
• In a bowl, mix together gravy mix packets, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
• Pour gravy mixture in the bottom of the Instant Pot (try to not wash the seasonings off the roast).
• Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot. Move valve to SEALING (not venting).
• Press MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 40 minutes for a 2 pound roast or 60 minutes for a 3 pound roast (about 20 minutes per pound of meat).
• When cooking is done, allow roast to do a natural release (at least 30 minutes - the longer you can let it sit, the better. Sometimes I will let a roast stay on KEEP WARM for a few hours).
• Remove lid and remove roast from Instant Pot, then shred using 2 forks (it should fall apart fairly easily).
• Stir the gravy left in the pot (it should have thickened up a little bit during cooking time, but if you want it to be thicker, you can mix together 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 teaspoon water and then add it in to the gravy and stir until it thickens up).
• To serve, place some shredded roast on top of a thick slice of bread and then top with gravy (like an open-face sandwich).

OPEN FACED POT ROAST SANDWICHES ( CROCK POT )

Steps:

• Place the roast, water, onion soup mix, and celery salt in a crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
• Once the roast is done, place it on a platter, cover it and set aside.
• Place the garlic bread of your choice and bake on a baking sheet as instructed on the package.
• In a saute pan melt the butter on medium heat. Once the butter is melted add the flour and whisk to combine making sure to break up any lumps. Once the flour is completly incorporated into the butter pour the beef broth from your crock pot into the saute pan making sure to whisk it as you add the broth so that there are no lumps in the gravy. Cook the gravy on medium heat whisking it occasionaly to keep it from sticking at the bottom of the pan.
• While the gravy is cooking, start shredding your beef in about 2 inch chunks. Once the gravy has reduced by half add the chunks of beef in with the gravy and carefully stir to combine.
• The garlic toast should now be done, pull it out of the oven and set aside.
• Once the gravy and beef have come back to a simmer, place a slice of garlic toast on each serving plate and top them with about 3 tbsp of the beef and gravy and serve.
• Note: I serve these sandwiches with mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley but they are perfect served as just a sandwich. I have also added sauteed onions to the gravy while it reduces which also is wonderful.

OPEN-FACED POT ROAST SANDWICH RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Add the oil to the inner pot of a pressure cooker and activate the browning setting. One at a time, brown each piece of chuck roast and then turn the unit off. Place both pieces of browned chuck roast into the cooker. Add the wine, stock, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Place the lid on the cooker and close the pressure valve. Set the cooker timer on high pressure for 50 minutes. When timer reaches zero, turn the cooker off. Open the pressure valve and release the steam. When the steam has released, remove the lid. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the meat from the cooker and place it in a casserole dish, leaving the broth and vegetables in the cooker. With 2 forks, shred the meat into 1" pieces and set it aside. With a fork or potato masher, crush the carrots into the broth. Activate the browning setting and sauté for 5 minutes. Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. When the broth and vegetables come up to a simmer, stir in the cornstarch mixture, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened. Turn the cooker off. Add the meat back into the cooker and stir until coated with the sauce. Lay out the slices of bread on a baking sheet. Divide the meat mixture over the bread and top each "sandwich" with a slice of cheese. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Power Pressure Cooker XL Prep Tips: To brown the meat, use the "Meat/Chicken" setting and adjust the time to 20 minutes. Use "Warm/Cancel" to turn the unit off. To pressure-cook the meat, secure the lid, close the pressure valve, and hit the "Meat/Chicken" button. Adjust the time to 50 minutes. Hit "Warm/Cancel." To make the gravy, use the "Beans/Lentils" setting. When thick, hit "Warm/Cancel."
