Ingredients

  • 2.5 pound chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons of kosher salt
  • freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1/2 cup of red wine
  • 1 14 oz can of low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 6 soft rolls
  • 3 tablespoons of butter melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 6 slices of provolone cheese

Instructions

  • For best results, let chuck roast rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before searing.
  • Add vegetable oil to the Instant Pot and hit the sauté button.
  • Season chuck roast with 2 teaspoon of kosher salt, freshly ground pepper to taste and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder on all side.
  • Using a pair on long heat-proof kitchen tongs, sear roast on all sides in Instant Pot.
  • Remove seared roast from Instant Pot and set aside.
  • Add onions to pot and sauté just until they start to soften.
  • Add red wine to pot and let simmer until reduced by half.
  • Use a wooden spoon to scrape up seared bits from the bottom of the pot as it simmers.
  • Once wine has reduced, add low-sodium beef broth and bay leaf.
  • Return roast to Instant Pot, close lid and make pressure release valve is set to sealing.
  • Hit Meat/Stew function and increase time to 100 minutes.
  • Let Instant Pot natural release for 25 minutes, then turn valve to venting to release any excess pressure.
  • Remove lid and transfer roast to a serving plate and shred.
  • Strain liquid through a fine mesh strainer and serve warm for dipping sandwiches.
  • Set oven to broil and place sandwich rolls on a baking sheet.
  • Combine melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder and pinch of kosher salt in a small bowl.
  • Brush over rolls and toast 2-3 minutes, just until gold brown.
  • Pile meat onto rolls and top with cheese. Return to broiler and heat just until cheese has started to melt.
  • Top sandwiches with freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley and serve with warm au jus for dipping.
