- Onion

How to make Instant Pot Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches:
- Set your instant pot to SAUTE and let it heat up. Once heated, add olive oil, sliced green bell pepper, and sliced onion and saute until cooked through. Usually about 5 minutes or until the onions start to lose their color.
- Add sliced steak and Italian mix and saute meat with vegetables for 2 minutes, making sure all the vegetables and meat get seasoned with the mix.

- Pour in beef broth and stir one last time before hitting CANCEL on your instant pot to shut off the saute feature.

- Place lid on Instant pot with valve set to “sealing.” Select PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL and set timer for 8 minutes. After timer runs out, let your Instant Pot do a natural release for 10 minutes.

- Cut French bread into 4 pieces (4 hoagie buns work as well!). Scoop meat onto sandwich and top with a slice of provolone cheese.

- If you like your Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches toasted, place your open faced sandwich in the oven and broil on high for a few minutes, keeping an eye on it. Or in your toaster oven!

This was so good! Had an eye of round roast that I cut thinly across the grain. Sooooooo tender! Thanks for an awesome and easy IP recipe.
Thie recipe states 1 1/4 beef broth. Are we to assume that this is “cups”?
Yes, 1 1/4 cups beef broth. Thanks so much for catching that.
Do you any vegan recipes
So I saw this on your video about forzen meals what’s the cooking directions for that
So good! I like to spread cream cheese on the hoagie as well as provolone! Such a yummy Philly cheesesteak
Yes, I would like to see those instructions too
I’m wondering the same thing. I’m prepping this tonight. What is the cook time from frozen?
Also wondering the instructions for making once it’s frozen. Directions seem to be for making it fresh. Also wondering what directions would be for a slow cooker after frozen
In the beef and broccoli video she sauteed the frozen beef until it was browned on the edges and thawed enough that it broke apart. But then just follow the recipe as directed. The beef will thaw during the saute cooking time. Hope this helps!
this was AMAZING. There is a video on the YouTube channel for freezing these ahead for those asking. I couldn’t believe how great the flavor was and how tender (I know, it’s an IP meal, I shouldn’t be surprised!) this turned out. This is a definitely a new family favorite and since I can prep and freeze, it will be perfect on nights where I’m working late and need something fast. 🙂
The video said 8 minutes in the instant pot for thin slices up to 15 minutes for thick slices. In the slow cooker on low for 4 hrs. Here is a link to the video, at 13:20 is the information they give.

Hope this helps.
The meat we used in the video was precooked. So it doesn’t take as long too cook. If you purchase raw meat it will take a little longer.
Loved the flavor, loved how tender the meat was—but my green pepper essentially disintegrated in the Instant Pot. Any suggestions how to avoid that? Maybe cut it into larger pieces?
Yes, just cut into larger pieces if you aren’t trying to hide it from the kids!
I love this recipe so much!!
This was SO good and SO easy!
For this particular recipe, if I’m making it a freezer meal, should I cook up the meat first or can I freeze it with the veggies raw?
Add the uncooked ingredients into your freezer bag.
How to turn this into a freezer meal:
Place olive oil, green bell pepper, onion, cut up steak, and Italian dressing mix into a gallon-sized freezer bag.
Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 90 days. When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 1 1/4 cups beef broth in with the frozen food.
Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the MANUAL button. Set timer for 25 minutes. Do a NATURAL RELEASE when the timer is done – I even like to let it sit in the Instant Pot for a few hours so that it falls apart so easily. Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
Hi! Your recipes are amazing! Please clarify something for me…
In the video you’re placing all the ingredient in the bag, including the beef broth, but the directions say to saute onion and pepper first, then add beef broth to the IP.
If it’s all together in a meal prep bag, and your’re taking it from the freezer to the IP, how are you following those steps?
Thank you!
A lot of the time when we’re doing a cooking demo, it’s hard for us to switch camera angles from our stoves back to our countertop for assembling, which is why we may alter recipes a little when we’re live. You are welcome to saute the pepper and onion first, as directed, but it’s not necessary, especially if you’re sticking it in the freezer! Hopefully that answers your question!
