Equipment

  • instant pot
  • chef's knife
  • cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1 2½-3 lb chuck roast
  • kosher salt enough to liberally season the outside of the roast
  • fresh ground pepper enough to season the outside of the roast
  • 4 cups beef broth or stock
  • 8 oz pepperoncini peppers, plus ¼ cup juice plus extra for serving
  • 2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon celery seed
  • 2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 cup each carrot, celery, and onion, rough chopped
  • 6-7 cloves garlic

Assembly and Serving

  • 8 hoagie rolls, split and toasted
  • 16 slices provolone cheese
  • giardiniera and extra pepperoncinis, for topping

Instructions

  • Liberally season the outside of the chuck roast with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
  • Using the high sauté function on the Instant Pot, sear the roast on all sides. Once seared, remove roast and set aside.
  • Add the beef broth to deglaze the bottom of the pot.
  • Return the roast to the Instant Pot. Next, add the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, celery seed, coriander, garlic, onion, carrot, celery, and pepperoncini peppers (plus juice).
  • Cook the roast on high pressure for 1 hour. Allow the instant pot to depressurize naturally - about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the roast and shred the meat. Set aside.
  • Strain the cooking liquid and return to the Instant Pot. Reduce the liquid using the high sauté function for 10 minutes. Taste and add salt if needed.
  • Pile the shredded roast meat high onto toasted hoagie rolls. Top with slices of provolone cheese, extra pepperoncinis, and giardiniera. Serve au just on the side for dipping.
  • Grab a bib and enjoy!
