Servings: 6 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2-3 lb chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 4-6 hoagie rolls
- Provolone cheese (optional, but come on—it’s cheese)
Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to sauté. Add olive oil and brown the roast on all sides. No need to stress if it sticks a bit—that’s flavor, baby.
- Remove the roast. Toss in onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until your kitchen starts smelling amazing.
- Add Worcestershire, soy sauce, broth, thyme, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir like you mean it.
- Return the roast. Lock the lid and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Then let it sit for another 15 (that’s your scrolling-on-phone break).
- Quick release any remaining pressure. Shred the beef with two forks—bonus points if you pretend you're on a cooking show.
- Serve beef on hoagies, topped with provolone, if you like. Dip in that glorious au jus and enjoy every messy, delicious bite.
