Instant Pot French Dip

Ingredients

• 2 - 3 pounds USDA choice grade chuck roast, 2 - 2.5 inches thick
• 6 cloves garlic , minced
• 3 medium onions , sliced
• 1 cup beef stock
• 1 T soy sauce
• 1 T fish sauce
• 1 T Worcestershire sauce
• 1 T olive oil
• 1 pinch dried rosemary
• 1 pinch thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 loaf french bread
• 2 - 3 slices Swiss cheese

Steps

1. Pat dry the chuck roast steak and lightly season one side with salt black pepper. Drizzle the inner pot with 1 tbsp olive oil. When the oil is not, place the seasoned side of chuck roast in Instant Pot. Lightly season the other side with more salt black pepper. Brown each side for 5-10 minutes.

2. Set browned roast aside. Add in sliced onions, then saute until softened (3 - 4 mins). Set aside roughly ⅓ of the softened onions for later.

3. Add in garlic, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf. Saute for another minute.

4. Pour stock in Instant Pot, and deglaze.

5. Pressure Cook Chuck Roast: Add in soy sauce, fish sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil. Give it a quick mix. Place browned chuck roast back in Instant Pot and partially submerge it into the liquid as best as you can. Cook at High Pressure for 45 minutes with Natural Release.

6. Preheat oven to 350°F.

7. Remove roast to a mixing bowl, and bring Au Jus sauce back to a boil with the "Saute" function.

8. Shred the beef with 2 forks.

9. When the sauce is boiling, add in reserved onions, then let the Au Jus sauce reduce for 5 - 10 minutes.

10. While the Au Jus sauce is reducing, layer 1 loaf of french bread with slices of Swiss cheese on top. Place it in the oven until the cheese begins to melt.

11. Taste sauce & adjust seasoning accordingly.

12. Layer shredded beef and onions on top of the sandwich. Serve with Au Jus sauce on the side.
