Instant Pot French Dip Recipes

FRENCH DIP SANDWICH

Steps:

• Add olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
• Season the beef with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• When oil gets hot, brown the meat on all sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add onion to the pot and saute until soft, 3-4 minutes.
• Add wine to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Add beef broth and bay leaf to the pot. Put the meat back into to the pot, turning once to coat.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL , then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 100 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 25 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
• Carefully remove the meat from the pot to a cutting board and shred.
• Strain remaining liquid. Reserve onions to serve with the sandwich (optional).
• Use a spoon or fat separator to skim fat from remaining juices. Discard fat. Season au jus with 1 tbsp kosher salt, or to taste.
• Slice open rolls, brush with melted butter and garlic salt and set under a broiler 2-3 minutes, until lightly toasted.
• Top toasted rolls with shredded beef and cheese. Return to broiler for 2-3 minutes, until cheese begins to melt.
• Top with chopped parsley (optional) and serve with au jus for dipping.

INSTANT POT FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Season Roast: Start by seasoning the chuck roast with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Make sure to rub in the spices and evenly coat the roast.
• Sear Roast: Turn on 'Sauté' and adjust the heat level to 'More'. Allow the pot to heat up until the display reads 'Hot' and then add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up. Next, place the chuck roast in the pot and sear undisturbed on one side for at least 5 minutes or until it's nicely browned. Then, turn the roast over and brown on the other side. Once the roast has browned nicely on all sides, remove it from the Instant Pot and set aside. Leave the browned bits in the bottom of the pot.
• Sauté Onion: Add the sliced onion to the Instant Pot and sauté, deglazing the bottom of the pot and tossing the onion in the browned bits as they cook. Continue to sauté the onions until they are a golden brown and starting to caramelize. About 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add Red Wine: Add the red wine to the onions and cook, continuing to deglaze the bottom of the pot, until the wine is reduced by half. About 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add Soy Sauce, Stock & Roast: Add the soy sauce and beef stock to the pot, place the chuck roast back into the pot and then add the bay leaf. Turn off the Sauté function.
• 100-Minute Cook Time: Close the Instant Pot, set the pressure release valve to 'Sealing' and set the pot to cook on 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook', 'High Pressure' for 100 minutes.
• 25-Minute NPR: Once the 100-minute cook time has completed, allow for a 25-minute Natural Pressure Release. When the 25-minute NPR has finished, release the remaining pressure and then open the pot.
• Serve Roast: The chuck roast is ready to serve. It will fall apart as you try to remove it from the pot. I usually serve it straight from the pot, pulling pieces of meat off the roast using my metal tongs. I'll then scoop out some of the juice (au jus) with a ladle and serve it in a small ramekin for dipping.
• Toast Bread: Cut each loaf of french bread into 2 to 4 sections (depending on length), butter each side and toast on a skillet.
• Add Cheese & Roast: Place two slices of provolone cheese on the bread and serve the roast over the top of the cheese.
• Enjoy the best French Dip sandwiches ever!

INSTANT POT FRENCH DIP

Steps:

• Brown Chuck Roast Steak: Heat up Instant Pot using Sauté More function. Wait until it says HOT (~8 mins). Pat dry the chuck roast steak and lightly season one side with salt + black pepper. Drizzle the inner pot with 1 tbsp olive oil. Then, place the seasoned side of chuck roast in Instant Pot. Lightly season the other side with more salt + black pepper. *Pro Tip: Brown each side for 10 minutes to develop some awesome deep flavors. *Note: If you prefer a "Dump-it-all-in" Recipe, you can skip the browning and saute steps.
• Saute Onion & Garlic: Set browned chuck roast aside. Add in sliced onions, then saute until softened (~3 - 4 mins). Set aside roughly ⅓ of the softened onions for later. Add in minced garlic, a pinch of dried rosemary, a pinch of thyme, and 2 bay leaves. Saute for another minute. *Pro Tip: Your Instant Pot will stop sauteeing after 30 minutes, turn it back on by pressing "Saute" button. :)
• Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup unsalted stock in Instant Pot, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
• Pressure Cook Chuck Roast: Add in 1 tbsp (15ml) soy sauce, 1 tbsp (15ml) fish sauce, and 1 tbsp (15ml) Worcestershire sauce. Give it a quick mix. Place browned chuck roast back in Instant Pot and partially submerge it into the liquid as best as you can. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 45 minutes + 25 minutes Natural Release.
• Simmer Au Jus Sauce & Shred Beef: Set aside chuck roast in a mixing bowl, and shred the beef with 2 forks. While you are shredding the beef, bring Au Jus sauce back to a boil with the "Saute" function. Add in reserved onions, then let the Au Jus sauce reduce for 5 - 10 minutes. Taste & adjust seasoning accordingly. *Pro Tip: Reducing the Au Jus sauce will naturally thicken it. If you find the Au Jus sauce to be too oily, you can use a Fat Separator to filter out the fat.
• Assemble & Serve Instant Pot French Dip: Optional Step - While the Au Jus sauce is reducing, preheat oven to 350°F. Layer 1 loaf of french bread with slices of Swiss cheese on top. Place it in the oven until the cheese begins to melt. Layer shredded beef and onions on top of the sandwich. Serve Instant Pot French Dip with savory umami Au Jus sauce on the side. Enjoy~ :)

INSTANT POT® FRENCH ONION DIP

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), and select Saute function. Add butter, onion, and salt. Cook until onions are soft and caramelized, about 8 minutes. Close and lock the lid. Select Manual; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 5 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.
• Select Saute function again and cook for 5 minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Turn pressure cooker off and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Combine cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Remove onions from pressure cooker using a slotted spoon and add to bowl with cream cheese mixture. Stir. Cover dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.

INSTANT POT FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES RECIPE

Steps:

• Place roast in greased the Instant Pot. Pour consommé over the top of the roast.
• Put the lid on and turn the knob to sealing.
• Push the manual or pressure cook button and set the timer for 75 minutes (25 minutes per pound of roast).
• When it is done cooking, let it do a natural release for at least 1 hour. This will make your meat very tender and fall-apart, so I highly recommend it! (Sometimes I will let the roast sit in the Instant Pot on warm for 6-8 hours and it makes it SO good!) Turn the valve to venting to let any remaining pressure release.
• Remove roast and save extra juice for dipping! With 2 forks, shred roast (when it is done, it should pull apart easily . . . almost fall apart).
• Serve meat on buns and use extra juice to dip sandwiches in.

INSTANT POT FRENCH DIP

Steps:

• Set Instant Pot to Sautee Setting and add olive oil.
• Salt and pepper your chuck roast on both sides. Do not remove fat, as it will add a ton of flavor and you can remove it after cooking.
• Once Instant Pot is nice and hot, add your chuck roast and sear for 2 minutes on each side and edges to seal in those delicious flavors. This step is NOT required, but does add a lot of flavor.
• Once roast is seared on each side, remove from Instant Pot and set aside.
• While still on Sautee setting, add onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Don't worry about cooking onions down completely as they will cook down later. This step is optional but adds a lot of flavor.
• Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute with onions. This step is optional but does add flavor.
• Remove onions and garlic and set aside.
• Add beef broth to Instant pot and scrape up the stuck on bits on the bottom of your Instant Pot. This will add flavor.
• Press Cancel button on Instant Pot to turn off Sauté setting.
• Add chuck roast to Instant Pot.

• Place lid onto Instant Pot and lock. Turn steam valve to closed position.
• Press Pressure Button to High pressure.
• Press Manual button and adjust timer to 60 minutes.
• Once timer goes off, do not touch instant pot. Let pressure release naturally for 25 minutes. Do not flip the switch.

• Remove beef, shred and remove fat bits.
• While shredding beef, set instant pot to simmer and cook juices and onions down for 10 minutes. Then turn off your Instant Pot.

• We like to eat ours on toasted garlic butter buns. To do this, simply slice your buns open. Blend with a spoon - 1/4 cup softened butter and 2 teaspoons garlic paste. Spread this mixture on buns and broil for 1 minute or less (watch as these will burn quickly if you aren't paying attention). Serve immediately.
