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.
