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.

Thanks Jennifer!
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!
★★★★★
I love the idea of quesadillas!
My family’s new favorite Saturday supper. We also use the juice for dipping. Best part!

Thanks so much for the 5 stars Denise!
Making this now, i was thinking of dipping the bun in the juices left in the crockpot. Sloppy but i have eaten them this way before.
Yum dipping is a great idea!
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.

You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it Kristy!
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.
