Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches

I googled Instant Pot recipes and found that the most pinned Instant pot recipe on Pinterest is this one.  Well, that made me want to try it.  So I did.  It was good.  I loved how soft and tender it made the meat to cook it in the Instant Pot.  Wow!  It was like butter. I think next time I would add a little more taste by adding more of the Spices and maybe another onion.  But it was good.

Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches

2-3 lb. chuck roast

About 1 T. vegetable oil

Kosher Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 onion, sliced

1/2 cup red wine or beef stock

2 cups beef stock or beef broth

1 bay leaf

6 soft rolls

3 T butter, melted

1/4 tsp garlic powder

salt

6 slices provolone or Swiss cheese

Turn the Instant Pot on Saute'.  Put in the oil.  Season the roast with the salt, pepper and teaspoon of garlic powder.  Using tongs lower the roast into the instant pot and sear on both sides.  Remove the roast from the pot.  Add the onion and  saute' until they are starting to soften.  Add the wine or  1/2 cup broth and, using a wooden spoon, deglaze the pan.  After a couple of minutes add the beef broth and bay leaf.  Put the roast back in the pan.  Close the lid, making sure the pressure release valve is set to sealing.  Press the meat/ stew function and set the time to 100 minutes.  Let the pressure release naturally for about 1/2 hour, then turn release valve to steam.  Take the roast out and put on a serving plate.  Strain the liquid thorugh a fine mesh strainer and pour into small bowls for dipping.  Set oven to broil.  Mix together the butter, garlic powder and salt and spread on the rolls.  Broil until browned.  Remove the rolls and take the tops off of the pan.  Put meat on the bottoms and then a slice of cheese on each.  Put back under broiler until cheese is melted.  Serve with the au jus.

My mom's beef spread is a great way to use the leftovers.
