Pressure Cooker Italian Beef Sub

JUMP TO RECIPE

These Italian Beef Subs are the perfect party snack. Juicy succulent shredded beef, stuffed inside soft rolls topped with provolone and dunked into a flavour packed gravy/sauce.

Everyone who tries these loves these and they are so simple to make.

Dip these Italian Beef Subs into the delicious gravy. I mean who doesn’t love the gravy!!!!

I know I said it above, but I have to say it again, everybody loves these! The kids demolish them, adults always reach for a second and people are always asking me for the recipe.

I think it is the comforting effect of dipping bread into gravy/sauce. It feels homely and tastes delicious!

I use the pressure cooker for these Italian Beef Subs, I have tried the recipe in both an instant pot and a stove top pressure cooker. Both work well, and I have included instructions for both below.

There is red wine in the recipe, so ensure that you really reduce the mixture down so the alcohol has evaporated off before you add the lid and bring it to pressure.

I like to give the gravy/sauce (or jus) a hard boil whilst I am shredding the meat. This intensifies the flavour and lets it thicken up a little more.

The beautiful gravy is packed with the flavours you associate with Italy; oregano, basil and garlic. There are 6 cloves of garlic in this beef, but the flavour is mellow and balanced by the sweetness of the onions.

The onions are what give the sauce its thickness. They break down in the pressure cooker and great a thick delicious base. Dip your bread in and feel the comfort!

This recipe makes enough for 6 sub rolls. Or 12 mini subs (like in the pictures above).
But it is really easy to double the recipe if you are feeding a crowd.

I like to use provolone in these, but mozzarella works well too. Or if you love blue cheese these are delicious with some creamy gorgonzola dolce.

Enjoy
