Instant pot Italian beef sandwiches
This is our go to recipe when we have Game day or need to feed a crowd at dinner. The instant pot does all of the work and makes the beef really tender. Everyone will think the meal was slow cooked all day. It is that tender!
You can easily shred the beef with a fork to make the sandwiches. The peppercinis add so much flavor to the beef and I love to add even more to my sandwich.
Each sandwich gets loaded with provolone cheese for such an amazing dinner. It is so tasty.
If you have children with smaller appetites or need smaller portions for parties or Game day, just use sliders instead of sub rolls. This recipe is so easy to make work for any occasion.
Instant pot Italian beef sandwiches ingredients:
- 3 lb Roast
- 1 Red bell pepper chopped
- 1 Zesty Italian dressing Seasoning packet
- 16 oz Jar of Pepperoncini Peppers (reserve some of the peppers for toppings)
- ½ Cup Butter
- 8 oz Package of sliced provolone cheese
- 12 Hoagie rolls
- 1 cup Beef Broth
How to make pressure cooker Italian beef sandwiches:
First, place the roast, red bell pepper, Zesty Italian Seasoning Mix, Butter and Pepperoncini Peppers (including juice) and the beef broth in the instant pot.
Next, seal the instant pot by placing the valve on the top to the seal position.
Cook on high pressure for 70 minutes with a 15 minute natural and then release the remaining pressure on the instant pot.
Shred the beef and mix it into the juices in the instant pot. Slice the hoagie rolls and place them face up on a baking sheet.
Broil the rolls on high for 3-4 until the bread is browned slight. Place the meat mixture on the bottom of the rolls, then layer on the sliced cheese, then broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted. Place the top of the roll on top.
Serve and enjoy!
You will need a pressure cooker for this easy recipe.
I am using an 8 quart Instant pot but you can use a 6 quart. I personally have an Instant Pot and so far I am loving it.
You can find the Instant pot on sale here. It’s really changed dinner time around here.
If you have been putting off trying an instant pot, I highly recommend going ahead and biting the bullet. I love using the pressure cooker when I don’t have much time.
It is perfect for frozen food or meals that normally take a while. You can toss everything in and have dinner ready in no time at all.
Those days when you forget to take something out of the freezer or wait until the last minute for dinner, the instant pot is your saving grace.
I am not exaggerating when I say it truly has changed meal time around here. We love ours and it makes soup recipes even easier.
If you prefer to use the crock pot, try this Crock Pot Italian Beef Sandwich Recipe.
Time saving tip:
I use a small food chopper or processor to quickly and easily chop onions and green peppers. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them.
They are such a time saver.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take diced onion or bell peppers out of the freezer for recipes.
Learn how to freeze peppers and how to freeze onions and you will save so much time in the kitchen!

I made the roast and sandwiches on Monday night and they were loved by all! I used a sirloin roast. The taste was amazing! Leftover meat and juice made excellent beef tips with gravy over rice! Love this instant pot recipe and will make it again! Oh yea, my husband normally does not like to eat roast beef!
This is one of my family favorite meals.
