Step-by-step
- 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 onion, the 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 and strain broth from the Instant Pot into small bowls to serve with sandwiches.
