Italian Beef Sandwich – Tender, Juicy, and Perfectly Savory

  • Season the beef roast with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  • Sear in Instant Pot:

    • Set the Instant Pot to sauté. Brown the beef on all sides until a deep golden color forms. Remove and set aside.

  • Add Aromatics & Broth:

    • Add sliced onion and minced garlic to the pot, sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

    • Pour in beef broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits.

  • Pressure Cook:

    • Return the beef to the pot and add pepperoncini with their juice.

    • Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes.

    • Allow natural release for 15–20 minutes, then release any remaining pressure.

  • Shred & Soak:

    • Remove the beef and shred it directly in the pot to soak up the flavorful juices.

  • Assemble Sandwiches:

    • Pile shredded beef onto hoagie rolls.

    • Top with provolone cheese if desired.

    • Optional: Dip sandwiches in the cooking broth for extra flavor.
