Instant Pot Italian Beef
This Instant Pot Italian Beef recipe could NOT be any easier! Just dump all of the ingredients in your Instant Pot and press go! Come back an hour later and the Instant Pot beef will be absolutely fork tender. We love serving the shredded beef on buns, but it would also be delicious with mashed potatoes.
Oh man, I am reallllllly dragging tonight, so I'm going to make this post short and sweet. Well, savory. But you know what I mean.
Soren got up at 5 this morning, which is pretty typical of him, but then he didn't go back to sleep, which is definitely atypical. His usual schedule is to sleep from 7 p.m.-5 a.m. then he wakes up, feeds, and goes back to bed until 6:30/7 a.m. I could do without that 5 a.m. feeding but it's fine for now. Except, yeah. Today he didn't go back to sleep.
Easy Instant Pot Beef
Are you ready for the easiest Instant Pot recipe EVER?! I mean, I know they're all pretty simple but seriously, this Instant Pot Italian Beef is a no brainer and only has FOUR ingredients. Seriously an easy recipe!
How to Make Instant Pot Italian Beef
You might laugh at how easy it is. You just throw a hunk of beef, some Italian dressing mix, beef broth and pepperoncini peppers in the Instant Pot and let it do it's thang.
Once the Italian beef in the Instant Pot is fork tender after about an hour, you just shred it up and load it onto some toasted hoagies and top it with cheese. We also like to spoon some of the juices on top for an little extra oomph in our Instant Pot Italian Beef Sandwiches. You could even put some in a little side dish to dip it in. SO good!
Can This Be a Freezer Meal?
Definitely! To make this Instant Pot beef into a freezer, meal I would simply put the beef, Italian dressing mix, pepperocini peppers, and beef broth into a freezer bag. When you're ready to cook, simply take it out of the freezer the night before to let it thaw in the refrigerator, and then follow the remaining instructions.
We will definitely be putting this Instant Pot Italian Beef on our regular rotation this fall and winter! I'm actually thinking of making it into a freezer meal, because why the heck not!?
