Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 60 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chuck roast
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 sandwich rolls
Instructions
- Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels and generously season all sides with salt and pepper.
- Set Instant Pot to Sauté mode and add a small amount of oil. Brown the chuck roast on all sides until a golden-brown crust forms, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the roast and set aside. Add chopped onions and garlic to the Instant Pot, sautéing until they become fragrant and slightly translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
- Return the roast to the Instant Pot and add chopped carrots around the meat.
- Close the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes.
- Once cooking is complete, allow natural pressure release for 15 minutes, then carefully do a quick release.
- Remove the roast and shred the meat using two forks, discarding any large fat pieces.
- Strain the cooking liquid and reserve some for moistening the meat if needed.
- Toast the sandwich rolls lightly and pile shredded pot roast onto each roll.
- Optional: Spoon extra cooking liquid over the meat for additional moisture and flavor.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Instant Pot Pot Roast Sandwiches!
Tips
- Choose the right cut: Chuck roast is ideal for this recipe due to its marbling and tenderness when slow-cooked.
- Pat the meat dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear that locks in flavor.
- Don't skip the browning step - it adds incredible depth and richness to your final dish.
- Use a natural pressure release for the first 15 minutes to keep the meat incredibly tender and juicy.
- If you prefer extra moisture, save some of the cooking liquid to drizzle over your sandwiches.
- For a gourmet touch, consider adding caramelized onions or a slice of melted provolone cheese to your sandwich.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and will taste even better the next day as the flavors continue to meld.
