Ingredients

Seasoning the Beef Roast

French Dip Sandwich

  • 10.5 ounce can of Beef Consomme Note 1
  • 12 ounce bottle or can of beer Note 2
  • 3-4 drops Worcestershire sauce

  • Once release is complete, remove beef and shred. Add the beef back into the pot.

How to Make French Dip Sandwich

  • Set the oven to broil or high.
  • Slice hoagies open and place provolone cheese on the bread.
  • Heat in the oven for just a bit to melt the cheese.
  • Top with the shredded beef and serve with the beef broth.

Notes

Note 1: I use fat-free and sodium free broth when available. 
Note 2: I use any beer the hubs has in the fridge. Usually a light colored beer. Any beer will work. If you don't have beer or do not cook with beer, double beef broth.
Note 3:It is important to get up most of the brown bits in the bottom of the instant pot. This also helps to prevent the "burn" message on the pot.
