Ingredients

  • 3-4 pound Chuck roast
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 can Beer 12 oz. can
  • ½ cup Onion Sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic Finely minced
  • 1 packet Au jus mix powder 1 oz. packet
  • ¼ cup Water Or low sodium beef broth
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 8 Rolls Large, Brushed with garlic buttered and toasted in oven until golden brown
  • 8-10 slices Provolone cheese

Instructions

  • Season roast with salt and pepper and keep aside.
  • Turn Instant Pot to “Saute”mode and heat oil.
  • Then, place the roast in the pressure cooker and sear all the sides.
  • Remove from Instant Pot and keep aside.
  • Add beer and deglaze, scraping all the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add onions, garlic and saute for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the roast back in the pot.
  • Sprinkle the dry Au jus mix over the roast.
  • Add water, bay leaf and mix everything together.
  • Put the lid on and turn up the the valve to “Sealing.” Select “Meat/Stew” mode and set the time for 100 minutes (1 hour and 40 minutes).
  • When the cook time is over, let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes before turning the valve to “Venting.”
  • Open the lid and transfer meat to a serving dish and shred it with 2 forks.
  • Strain liquid in pressure cooker through a fine mesh strainer and serve this strained Au jus with sandwiches for dipping. On busy days, I just skip this straining step and shred the meat in the pressure cooker and it still tastes really good.
  • Pile meat onto toasted buttered rolls.
  • Optional: Top with cheese. Heat in oven on broiler setting until cheese starts melting. I also added some sliced jalapenos because I really like them.
  • Enjoy with the strained Au jus.
