French dips are one of my favorite weeknight meals to make when I am really pressed for time. It’s just like the perfect meal! You can literally throw everything the pot and forget about until its done. I mean, you don’t even have to toast the cheese if you don’t wan too!

Before the Instant Pot, I used to always make my french dip meat in the crock pot. I don’t know why, but I love shredded meat versus like roast beef sliced style. Now that I have an Instant Pot, the process is so much easier. I just walk in the door, turn the magic pot onto saute and toss in some butter. While that is heating I quickly rough chop some onions, pop open a beer, and get the roast in to sear on each side.

I then quickly deglaze the pot, toss in the onions, broth, and beer. Then just set the timer and let it do it’s thing! It’s amazing! With a little tiny bit of effort, I have a delicious meal that tastes like it’s been cooking all day (and you can too)!

Next time you are in need of a quick and delicious meal that takes almost no effort, you need to try these Instant Pot Beer Braised French Dip Sandwiches!

Turn Instant Pot onto saute and trow in butter. While pot is heating up, season your roast with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder.

When pot is hot, place roast in and brown on each side (about 3-4 minutes on each side). This step is optional if you are looking to just dump and go. It does help with the flavor though (it keeps the juice in)!

Turn Instant Pot off. Remove roast and set aside. Add a cup of beef stock to the pot and de-glaze (or scrape) off any browned bits from the bottom.

When pot is de-glazed, add the onion, rest of the beef stock, beer, Worcestershire, and french onion soup. Add roast back in and close top.

Select manual on your Instant Pot and set timer for 80 minutes. When timer is up, allow a full natural pressure release.

While Instant Pot is releasing, turn oven onto broil and allow to heat up. Cut rolls in half and add cheese to one side.

Open pot and carefully remove roast. Shred roast. Add shredded roast onto rolls and place in the oven for broil for 1 minute until the cheese is melted.

Spoon broth from the Instant Pot into small bowls to serve with sandwiches.
