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!

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.

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...

Elementary School - - Must Haves

Well, it’s that time again. It’s about to be back to school. This year looks different, but regardless of what your school is doing this fall there are things you are going to need this fall. If your house is like mine, school supplies and craft supplies are running low.  Between finishing school at home and quarantine... we are making due. Here in GA, we are starting back to school as normally as can be anticipated. Masks included, if possible. My elementary age kiddo is pretty good on clothes, but definitely needs somethings to start the year. These are a few things that I have bought or will be buying in addition to the required school supplies. First, as a third grader... she needed a bigger backpack. Lands End is my very favorite place to order back packs and lunch bags! They are wonderfully made and hold up so well. My kids love the prints. The website allows you to filter the size of the backpack based on height. For me, this makes shopping for a backpack SO much easi...
