- 3 pounds beef roast chuck roast or rump roast work great
- 29 ounces condensed beef consomme* 2 (14.5 oz cans) - usually find by the soups and beef broth, but please see note below!
- 8 buns (we love hoagie buns, but any kind will work)
Place roast in greased the Instant Pot. Pour consommé over the top of the roast.
Put the lid on and turn the knob to sealing.
Push the manual or pressure cook button and set the timer for 75 minutes (25 minutes per pound of roast).
When it is done cooking, let it do a natural release for at least 1 hour. This will make your meat very tender and fall-apart, so I highly recommend it! (Sometimes I will let the roast sit in the Instant Pot on warm for 6-8 hours and it makes it SO good!) Turn the valve to venting to let any remaining pressure release.
Remove roast and save extra juice for dipping! With 2 forks, shred roast (when it is done, it should pull apart easily . . . almost fall apart).
Serve meat on buns and use extra juice to dip sandwiches in.
To make this a freezer meal:
Place roast and beef consomme into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 60 days.
When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 1/2 cup water in with the frozen food. Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the MANUAL button. Set timer for 90-100 minutes (or about 30-35 minutes per pound of your roast). 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.
*What to do if you can't find beef consomme:
Since the pandemic, beef consomme is hard to find! As a substitute, you can use condensed French Onion soup, condensed Beef Mushroom soup, or even beef broth.
To take this recipe over the top, add 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 Tablespoon soy sauce, 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon dried rosemary.
