Step 2: Cook Roast in Au Jus Sauce
Deglaze the pot with beef broth. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape off cooked bits from searing the roast. Mix in red wine and French onion soup mix. Put the herbs in an infuser and place in broth.
Place roast in broth. Close lid, flip valve to "Sealing" and cook on manual high pressure for 90 minutes. Let it natural release 25 minutes.
Step 3: Shred Meat
Once meat is done cooking, flip the valve to "Venting" and open the lid. Remove roast from sauce and shred. The meat should be tender and should shred easily.
Step 4: Prepare Sandwiches
Prepare four hoagie sandwiches with meat and provolone cheese. Broil in oven to melt cheese, sprinkle with parsley or basil for garnish, and serve with au jus sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
