Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches

Instant Pot French Dip





Ingredients:

1 beef roast (size dependent on your crowd)
2-2 1/2 cups red wine
2- 2 1/2 cups beef broth
1/2 sweet onion coarsely chopped
Worcestershire Sauce
Butter
Garlic paste
Salt & Pepper
Parsley


First, you want to sear the outside of your roast. Mine was big so I had to cut it into two portions and sear it in stages. Get out all your ingredients, set your IP on sauté Hot. While it warms up, trim up your roast. I prefer to get extra fat off the roast. Put a couple of table spoons of butter in the IP. Salt and pepper your roast and put it in. The goal is just to get it browned on all sides.




Once browned, take it out and set on a plate (you want to collect juices). Add a little more butter and sauté onions. After 3-4 minutes, turn your IP off. Put roast back in. Sprinkle in a tablespoon of parsley and 2 cloves of crushed garlic. Pour red wine  (I used a wine we had opened for a get together and didn't finish) and beef broth and a couple of shakes of Worcestershire sauce. I added a few cranks of fresh ground salt and 4-5 cranks of freshly ground pepper. Seal up and set to meat/stew setting for 70-80 minutes depending on the size of your roast.

Let the steam release naturally for 10-15 minutes then force release. When the steam has been released, open the lid. Carefully removed the roast onto a dish or bowl. It will be fall apart tender. At this point I use a slotted spoon to remove the onion pieces and discard. Shred the roast and place back into the IP. Use the keep warm function until you are ready to serve.


I bought hoagie rolls from the store. I split them and lightly toasted them. I slathered them in melted garlic butter. After they were toasted, I loaded up the beef and topped with sliced provolone cheese. Put back in the over just until the cheese is melty.



Serve up the au jous (cooking broth) in a shallow bowl on the side of the plate so you can dip your sandwich and crusty bread in it.


Enjoy!



Side note!

We had a lot of extra leftover meat. It was great for on top of a salad or in a burrito!

DIY Salon Worthy Manicure at Home

DIY salon manicure at home So, like many of you mamas I don’t always have time to sneak off to the nail salon to get a manicure. Not only that, but weekly trips to the salon are not always in the budget. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love going to the salon. But the logistics get tough, I have to find someone to watch the youngest of my kiddos. So, a $30 manicure turns into a $50 outing once I pay the babysitter. More often than not, I do my nails at home. Here is how I am able achieve a salon look quickly at home. I tend do my nails at night after the kids are all in bed, while watching TV.  Starting with clean dry nails, here is my process. First, I rub hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol on on my nails. This takes the excess oil off of my nails and allows the polish to adhere better. This is the first step to a longer-lasting manicure. Second, I use a basecoat. I love Orly Bonder. It’s a rubberized product that allows the color to stick to y...

Favorite Everyday Shoes

Favorite Kicks I bought these shoes about a year & a half. I LOVE them. I stalked these shoes at my local DSW, I looked up outfits for these shoes on Pinterest. I did my due diligence.  Needless to say, I have already gotten my money worth and they are still kicking! I bought mine at my local Store. You can find them online HERE . These are Dr. Sholl’s brand. They have memory foam and are terrific for walking all day. Not to mention, they are a pretty reasonable price point, especially when you consider how often I wear them! I wear them with jeans, leggings and shorts. I’ve even paired them with the occasional relaxed dress. What I love most about them is that they are as comfortable as my running shoes, but they take it up a knotch with fashion & style.

Breakfast Bowl

I've done several bowl recipes.  I am partial to them. Portion control, easy eating and delicious.  As I have been all about back to school prep lately... this recipe seemed like a no brainer.. Ingredients: 1 bag frozen sweet potato tots Eggs 4-5 slices of bacon 1/3-1/2 roll of breakfast sausage 4-5 mini sweet peppers chopped Salt & Pepper to taste Smoked paprika Garlic paste Grated cheese (I used a smoky spicy variety) I picked up some sweet potato tots at my local  market. I used the sweet potato tots as the base layer of my bowl. I cooked them as instructed on the bag. Mine called for 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes. I love the balance of sweet they add to this bowl.  You could easy do fresh oven roasted sweet potatoes...but for me the time saver is a huge draw. While those were in the oven,  I cooked some chopped up bacon in a skillet. While that browned I chopped up some sweet peppers. I also used some breakfast sausage that I browned ...
