As much as I love a good home cooked roast beef dinner, I think I prefer roast beef even more when it’s warmed up as leftovers or used to make sandwiches. With that in mind, today I’ll be sharing a recipe for making a tender 7-ingredient instant pot roast beef that’s absolutely perfect for making epic sandwiches. It all starts with slow cooking your roast along with a delectable homemade sauce that includes great ingredients like beef stock, garlic powder, dark beer, and more. Once your beef has been cooked, it’s a simple matter of shredding it up and making your sandwiches with your preferred toppings.
