Instant Pot French Dip
Tender slices of beef soaked in savory beef au jus, creamy horseradish on a toasted roll—this Instant Pot French Dip checks all the boxes for a cozy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast trimmed of excess fat
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil or olive oil for a milder flavor
- 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic smashed
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth I love Swanson – less salt, big flavor
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
- 1 tsp dried thyme optional
- 6-8 hoagie or French rolls split
- Horseradish sauce for a zippy spread
- 6-8 provolone cheese slices optional
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the roast dry, then rub with salt and pepper. Sear the meat on all sides using the Instant Pot's Sauté function.
- Cook onions and garlic until fragrant, then deglaze the pot with beef broth and water.
- Lock the lid and pressure cook the roast for 60 minutes, followed by a natural release for 15 minutes.
- Shred the beef and return it to the pot to soak up the flavorful au jus.
- Toast the rolls, pile on the beef, add horseradish sauce, provolone cheese, and parsley. Serve with extra au jus on the side.
Notes
Trimming excess fat from the beef helps reduce greasiness without sacrificing flavor. Letting the meat rest after cooking helps keep the slices neat. Whisking in cold butter off the heat creates an ultra-rich au jus.
