Instant Pot/Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches

When I was in college I waitressed at a sandwich shop that served philly cheesesteak sandwiches. I loved them and ate as many as I could! The onions and peppers were tossed in with the steak and all was served on a sourdough bun with provolone cheese melted over the top. It was one of the most popular sandwiches on the menu.

I decided I needed to make an easy version of these sandwiches that anybody could make at home in their Instant Pot or slow cooker. This recipe literally takes 10 minutes to prep and then you can walk away while the slow cooker or pressure cooker does the work.

I used chuck roast, a perfect cut of meat for the slow cooker or pressure cooker. It gets ultra tender and is totally shreddable by the end of the cooking time. I like to stock up on chuck roast when it goes on sale for $2.99 per pound at my Kroger grocery store. I freeze it in freezer zipper bags and sometimes even toss it into the pressure cooker completely frozen. If you want to add more flavor and color you can brown the roast before cooking it. I didn’t, but you totally could.

Description

Tender shredded beef and green peppers are cooked in your electric pressure cooker or slow cooker. The beef is piled onto toasted buns that are slathered with mustard and mayo and then topped with melty cheese. 


Ingredients

Scale

For the meat:

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut of the fat and cut the roast into 4 pieces
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 2 large green peppers, cored and thinly sliced

For the sandwiches:

  • 8 buns or rolls
  • Mayonnaise
  • Mustard
  • 8 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

For the Instant Pot:

  1. Add broth, beef and onions to the Instant Pot. In a small bowl stir together the dijon mustard, vinegar, worcestershire, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and parsley. Spoon the mixture over the beef.
  2. Cover the Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 45 minutes. Allow enough time for a full natural pressure release.
  3. Remove the lid and place beef onto a cutting board. Add the green peppers into the Instant Pot and let them soften and par-cook in the hot liquid for about 5 minutes. Shred up the meat on the cutting board.
  4. Toast the buns under your oven’s broiler until brown.  Then add meat to the bottom side of each bun and then some green peppers and finally a slice of provolone cheese. Stick under the broiler for another minute, until cheese is melty. Slather the other side of each bun with mayo and mustard. Put the two sides of the bun together and eat and enjoy!

For the slow cooker:

  1. Add broth, beef and onions to the slow cooker. In a small bowl stir together the dijon mustard, vinegar, worcestershire, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and parsley. Spoon the mixture over the beef.
  2. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until beef is tender.
  3. Remove the lid and place beef onto a cutting board. Add the green peppers into the slow cooker and let them soften and par-cook in the hot liquid for about 5 minutes. Shred up the meat on the cutting board.
  4. Toast the buns under your oven’s broiler until brown.  Then add meat to the bottom side of each bun and then some green peppers and finally a slice of provolone cheese. Stick under the broiler for another minute, until cheese is melty. Slather the other side of each bun with mayo and mustard. Put the two sides of the bun together and eat and enjoy!

      Is it thin? It will probably cook in about 30 minutes if it’s 1 inch thick. With a natural pressure release.

    This is amazingly easy to make. I used regular mustard , didn’t have digon. Surprisingly juicy easy pull apart perfect in the pressure cooker at 45 mins. Full of flavor!! Highly recommend trying this. Added to my favorites!! 😁

    I never thought to use shredded beef for a cheesesteak! This is SO good. I subbed coconut aminos for Worcestershire sauce and accidentally put the bell peppers in (oops)! Soooo good. Made them with quesadillas. Saving this recipe for SURE!

    This was phenomenally delicious. I wouldn’t have guessed that balsamic, mustard and Worcestershire would make something as amazing as it was, I was really impressed. This recipe is a definite keeper. We eat low carb so I just served it with green veg, it would have been even better with melted provolone on a nice roll.

    It may taste good but this is NOT a Philly Cheesesteak. Please change the name of the recipe

    Authentic Philly Cheesesteak uses shaved ribeye/sirloin steak and never green peppers.
