These Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches are one of the best dinners you will make in your pressure cooker! The beef is ultra-tender and pairs perfectly with Provolone cheese on a toasted bun.
Make sure the stainless steel insert is in your Instant Pot.
Press saute setting. When the display shows HOT, add oil and heat up.
Season meat on both sides with salt and pepper.
Brown beef in the Instant Pot, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Remove meat onto a plate and set aside.
Add onion to the Instant Pot. Saute for 1 minute. Add garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
It should be very fragrant. The moisture from onion should help to deglaze the bottom of the Instant Pot. Scrape any cooked-on bits with a wooden spoon. This will prevent the burn message and it will ensure that the flavor is in the dish.
Whisk beef broth, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce and add to the pot.
Place meat in the liquid.
Close the lid and set the valve to sealing position (newer IP models do it on their own).
Make sure the Instant Pot is set to cook on HIGH pressure. Press "manual" setting and set timer to 60 minutes.
Once the cooking cycle is done, press "cancel/off" and let the Instant Pot release the pressure naturally. That means do not touch the pressure valve. The pressure pin will drop once the pressure is out. That took 18 minutes for me.
Carefully open the lid away from your face.
Remove the meat onto a plate and shred with two forks. It should be falling apart tender.
You can strain the liquid (called au jus) that is left in the pot to serve clear.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
To serve, slice the rolls open. Melt butter and mix with garlic powder. Spread on each roll.
Toast in the oven for 4 minutes.
Top one half of each roll with meat and top with two slices of cheese. Toast until the cheese is melted.
Serve with au jus in ramekins.
