Easy Italian Shredded Beef in the Pressure Cooker

Italian Shredded Beef made quickly and easily in the pressure cooker.

Have you ever been to an Italian deli and had a shredded beef sandwich that is just dripping with flavorful juice? This is about as close as you are going to get to that flavor at home. And, it can be quickly made in the pressure cooker.

I got this recipe years ago except it was made with prepackaged mixes and cooked for hours in the slow cooker. I freshened it up a little with actual herbs and spices and popped it into my Instant Pot for 30 minutes. Same flavorful beef in an amazing juice.

This beef is traditionally served on a crusty roll with peppers like pepperoncini or some giardiniera and a slice of provolone cheese. Add a tablespoon or two of the juices on top of the beef, and maybe some extra on the side for dipping.
