My instant pot Italian beef sandwich is a perfect blend of juicy beef and delicious crusty bread with a gorgeous gravy.
You can also have it as a super low carb meal by leaving out the bread and serving it with a big green salad instead. This makes it a great recipe for anybody doing a keto diet.

My beef was in fairly small chunks. For larger pieces or even for a full joint, increase the time under pressure to 60 minutes.
I served mine on ciabatta bread rolls, but French bread would also be good.
