Makes: 8 Sandwiches
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 35 minutes

Ingredients:  

  • 3-4 lb. Chuck Roast
  • Salt Pepper, and Granulated Garlic to coat the roast
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion sliced
  • 1.5 cups Beef Broth
  • 1 -16 oz. can of Guinness
  • 2 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • Hoagie Rolls

Instructions: 

  • Generously coat the entire roast with salt, pepper, and garlic, and set it aside.
  • Set the Instant Pot to Sauté and add olive oil.
  • Sear the roast on each side until it develops a nice, browned crust, about 8 minutes each side. Switch off the Instant Pot.
  • Add onions, broth, Worcestershire Sauce, and Guinness.

  • On a separate sheet tray, open hoagie rolls and lay two slices of Provolone over the entire hoagie surface. Bake until cheese is melted, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Shred the chuck roast with two forks.
  • Pile the shredded roast on one side of each hoagie roll, fold closed, and slice in half.
  • Serve with a small bowl of the au jus straight from the pot.

Tips/Notes

If using a slow cooker, sauté the roast* and add onions, broth, Worcestershire Sauce, and Guinness. Set the slow cooker to Slow Cook and set the timer for 8 hours. Proceed with the rest of the recipe. * If your slow cooker doesn't have a sauté function, sauté the roast in a deep pot on the stove, then transfer to the slow cooker. Try to scrape up any fond that developed in the pot into the slow cooker.
