Bake with coals on the lid and a small amount under the oven until biscuits are puffed and golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.

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 for Making Open-Faced Roast Beef Sandwiches:

  • Choose high-quality roast beef: Look for roast beef that is well-marbled and has a deep red color. This will ensure that your sandwiches are flavorful and juicy.
  • Slice the roast beef thinly: This will help the roast beef cook evenly and quickly. You can use a sharp knife or a deli slicer to slice the roast beef.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Open-faced roast beef sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover vegetables and condiments. Some popular toppings include horseradish sauce, caramelized onions, and arugula.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the roast beef, be sure to leave enough space between the slices so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the roast beef until it is heated through: The roast beef should be cooked until it is just heated through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Overcooking will make the roast beef tough.

Conclusion:

Open-faced roast beef sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that can be made with a variety of toppings. By following these tips, you can make sure that your open-faced roast beef sandwiches are flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection.
