  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pound chuck roast
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 Tablespoon steak seasoning mix
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons minced onion
  • 2 1/2 cups beef stock

For Serving

  • French bread rolls
  • Provolone cheese slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast: Place the 4-pound chuck roast at the bottom of the Instant Pot. Evenly sprinkle kosher salt, steak seasoning mix, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper over the roast. Add Worcestershire sauce and minced onions on top for enhanced flavor.
  2. Add Liquid and Seal: Pour 2 1/2 cups of beef stock into the pot around the roast. Secure the Instant Pot lid and ensure the valve is set to the sealing position to prepare for pressure cooking.
  3. Pressure Cook the Roast: Set the Instant Pot to manual or pressure cook mode and cook the roast for 60 minutes. After the cooking cycle completes, allow the pressure to naturally release for an additional 20 minutes to ensure the meat becomes tender.
  4. Release Pressure and Remove Meat: Perform a quick release to let out any remaining pressure, then carefully open the lid. Remove the cooked beef roast and slice or shred it as preferred. Reserve the cooking liquid, which serves as the flavorful au jus dipping sauce.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice the French bread rolls and fill them with the sliced or shredded roast beef. Top each sandwich with provolone cheese slices. Optionally, place the sandwiches under a broiler for a few minutes to crisp the bread and melt the cheese.
  6. Serve: Serve the sandwiches hot, accompanied by small bowls of the reserved au jus for dipping. Enjoy the rich, juicy flavors of this classic French Dip sandwich.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a splash of soy sauce or a few sprigs of fresh thyme to the beef stock before pressure cooking.
  • Shredded beef works great if you prefer a pulled sandwich texture.
  • If you don’t have a broiler, simply toast the French rolls before assembling and melt the cheese in the Instant Pot using the sauté function briefly.
  • Leftover au jus can be refrigerated and used as a flavorful base for soups or gravies later.
  • Use high-quality beef stock or broth to maximize the depth of flavor in the au jus.
  • Adjust seasoning amounts according to personal taste preferences, especially the steak seasoning mix and salt.
