Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lb chuck roast
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1/2 cup jarred giardiniera or 6–8 pepperoncini

Instructions
- Trim excess fat from the chuck roast and pat it dry.
- Season the roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Brown the roast in olive oil on the Instant Pot Sauté setting for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Add beef broth, giardiniera (or pepperoncini), Worcestershire sauce, and sliced onion to the pot.
- Pressure cook on HIGH for 60 minutes.
- Allow natural release for 10-15 minutes, then quick-release remaining pressure.
- Remove the roast and shred using two forks.
- Simmer the cooking liquid on Sauté for 5-8 minutes to concentrate flavors.
- Return shredded beef to the pot to absorb the au jus before serving.
- Serve on toasted hoagie rolls with melted provolone and extra au jus for dipping.
Notes
For best results, allow natural release to let the meat become fork-tender. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
