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!

Valentines Snack Mix

This snack mix is so easy & versatile for any holiday or activity. This is a super kid pleaser. The variety I made is nut free, there is a peanut allergy in my daughters class.  I started with popcorn & pretzels as my base. I popped my popcorn on the stovetop, you could just as easily use pre-bagged popcorn (Smartpop) or microwave popcorn.  I used 8 cups of popcorn and 3 cups of pretzels. Mix in a large bowl. Next, melt your vanilla coating chocolate. Follow the melting instructions on the package.  I dyed mine pink for the occasion.  Once the coating candy is melted and the right color, pour it over your mix. Stir constantly until is all incorporated. Spread out on parchment or wax paper. I used valentines sprinkles next... this is optional... but too cute to pass up! Next, I did the chocolate covered pretzels. I used the remainder of the bag of pretzels.  Same process as before, but using chocolate. Sometimes this is referred t...

Motherhood

Motherhood has the unique ability to expose our deepest weaknesses as well as highlight personal substance you never knew was there. In the trenches of the days of no sleep, spit up covered shirts and endless dirty diapers you discover the deepest part of who you are. One thing I have learned in the last almost 10 years of motherhood, is that knowing who I am is vital to my success. As Americans, I see great fear in understanding one’s own weaknesses. I know the opposite to be true. I see strength in your own full self discovery. We see women that look a certain way and are wearing certain things and we think that we have to imitate that to establish our identity. I see women everyday who are stretched to the brink, trying to do it all. As mothers, it’s important to relay to our children that weaknesses are a part of who we are, we are not defined by those rather we are defined by our strengths. When we truly know who we are, we can feel more comfortable making choices t...

What to wear Wednesday

Does  anyone else have a kiddo that is super picky about clothes???  I have 2...so far.  My oldest is picky about fit and feel, which makes it hard to shop for her.  Up until recently she would say that her biggest enemy in life were ‘jeans & mustard’.... first world problems! But that being said, when you take jeans out of the equation it really limits your outfit options. I mean jeans match everything. I have found the solution!  Target makes a super soft jegging in 3 different washes. She wears, loves and doesn’t complain. Light Wash Adjustable waist. Must have in my opinion for growing kids! They are on sale right now, buy 1 get 1 50%!!! That’s a great deal. You can find them here .
