INSTANT POT OPEN-FACED HOT BEEF SANDWICHES RECIPE



Instant Pot Open-Faced Hot Beef Sandwiches Recipe image

These Instant Pot Open-Faced Hot Beef Sandwiches is juicy, full of flavor and the perfect dinner for those chilly Fall evenings!

Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2-3 pound beef rump roast ((or any beef roast))
salt and pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
onion powder, to taste
2 packets beef gravy mix ((1 ounce each))
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1½ cups beef broth
6 thick slices of bread ((for serving; I love using sourdough bread))

Steps:

  • Generously season the roast on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Add the roast to the Instant Pot.
  • In a bowl, mix together gravy mix packets, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
  • Pour gravy mixture in the bottom of the Instant Pot (try to not wash the seasonings off the roast).
  • Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot. Move valve to SEALING (not venting).
  • Press MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 40 minutes for a 2 pound roast or 60 minutes for a 3 pound roast (about 20 minutes per pound of meat).
  • When cooking is done, allow roast to do a natural release (at least 30 minutes - the longer you can let it sit, the better. Sometimes I will let a roast stay on KEEP WARM for a few hours).
  • Remove lid and remove roast from Instant Pot, then shred using 2 forks (it should fall apart fairly easily).
  • Stir the gravy left in the pot (it should have thickened up a little bit during cooking time, but if you want it to be thicker, you can mix together 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 teaspoon water and then add it in to the gravy and stir until it thickens up).
  • To serve, place some shredded roast on top of a thick slice of bread and then top with gravy (like an open-face sandwich).

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality roast beef for the best flavor. Look for a cut that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat.

  • Slice the roast beef against the grain for the most tender results.
  • Use a variety of toppings to customize your open-face roast beef sandwich. Some popular options include horseradish sauce, gravy, and sautéed onions.
  • Serve the open-face roast beef sandwich immediately after it is assembled. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

The open-face roast beef sandwich is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, this sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give the open-face roast beef sandwich a try.
