INSTANT POT® SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Dry steak well with paper towels and cut into four 4-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place flour into a shallow bowl. Dredge steak pieces in flour, shaking off excess.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Once the pot is hot, add 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Brown the steak in batches, so you don't crowd the pot, 2 minutes per side. Transfer browned meat to a warm plate and set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the pot and cook onion, carrot, celery, and bell pepper until onions are soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pot with Merlot. Mix in tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, and paprika. Return steak to the pot and push down into the tomato mixture.
• Close and lock the lid. Select manual pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Allow pressure to release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes. Carefully open the valve to release the remaining pressure, about 5 minutes more. Unlock and remove the lid.

INSTANT POT GREAT STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Slice the top round steak across the grain into the thinnest pieces possible. I used a sharp serrated knife* and it helps if you throw the meat in the freezer for 10-20 minutes before slicing.
• Throw the meat into a bowl and stir in 1 Tbsp of olive oil, Worcestershire and seasoned salt. Set aside.
• Heat Instant Pot on the sauté setting. When display says HOT add in the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil and the onions. Sauté the onions for about 4-5 minutes. Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
• Add the meat into the Instant Pot. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 5 minutes on LOW pressure. When time is up let the pressure release naturally (mine was all released within 10 minutes). Remove the lid.
• In a bowl stir together the softened butter, garlic powder and dill. Spread the inside of the hoagies with the butter spread.
• Pile some meat on the bun and top with provolone cheese. You can also toast the buns, if you'd like. Add a couple slices of tomatoes, if desired. Eat and enjoy.
