This Instant Pot Sliced Beef and Cheddar Sandwich recipe is the upgraded version of your favorite Arby\u2019s order, with thin-sliced pressure cooker beef and melty cheese sauce on an onion roll. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Instant<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This sandwich is like a delicious cross between a Philly cheesesteak and a French dip. It has tender sliced beef and a creamy homemade cheddar sauce. Serve it on your favorite buns for a classic American sandwich made at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cheesesteak sandwich recipe pairs especially well with Pressure Cooker Baked Beans<\/a>, <\/a>Rosemary Garlic Potatoes<\/a>, and Garlic Parmesan Air Fryer French Fries<\/a> from Barbara Bakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Making Sliced Beef and Cheddar Sandwiches in an Instant Pot \/ Pressure Cooker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This cheese steak sandwich recipe works in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the  Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sliced beef is a quick dump-and-go pressure cooker recipe.<\/strong> Simply add thinly sliced beef, broth, and seasonings into the pot, bring to pressure for 10 minutes, and you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"melted<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While the Instant Pot is working it\u2019s magic, you can whip up the cheddar cheese sauce on the stove. This is a matter of melting butter, thickening it with a bit of flour and stirring in milk, just a bit of hot sauce for flavor\u2014and cheddar cheese, of course! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(If you like, you can also make the sauce in your Instant Pot, on saute adjusted to low.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To serve up sliced beef and cheddar sandwiches, I love using onion rolls. If you can\u2019t find them, brioche buns are also the perfect pillowy and soft vehicle for the meat and cheese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Should I Slice the Beef?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I like to have the butcher slice the beef for me for this recipe. That way, I know it will be perfectly thin and even. I ask for slices 1\/8-inch thick. Thinner beef curls on the edges a bit while it cooks to give you that classic cheesesteak sandwich look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you have a whole piece of boneless beef, you can always slice it yourself. A sharp knife is your friend for slicing thin, even pieces of beef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Tip: <\/strong>To make slicing it yourself a little easier, place the beef in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. When you take it out to slice, the beef will hold its shape better and slice without falling apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Cut of Beef Is Best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I use top round roast for this recipe. However, top sirloin steak will also work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\uded1 Fattier cuts of beef, like chuck roast, won\u2019t produce the tender strips of steak you\u2019re looking for in your sandwich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Freeze Sliced Instant Pot Beef?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cooked meat in this recipe reheats and freezes quite well. (I often freeze it with the juices left in the pot so the meat doesn\u2019t dry out.) It will last for up to 3 months in the freezer<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To defrost, thaw the container in the fridge overnight and reheat in the Instant Pot or microwave.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cheese sauce can last a few days in the fridge in an airtight container. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
