Ingredients

1.5 kg boneless beef chuck

1.5 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp dried oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp onion powder

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tbsp paprika (optional)

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 onion, thick-cut

6 cloves garlic, sliced

1 Fresno chili

3 cups beef stock

2 tbsp sport pepper juice or more to taste, or white vinegar (optional)

1 bay leaf (optional)

1 tsp dried thyme (optional)

4 to 6 Italian hoagie rolls, split

1 cup chopped giardiniera (pickled Italian vegetables)

Directions

In a bowl, mix beef chuck with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and paprika.

Turn the Instant Pot to High Sauté mode; add vegetable oil. Place seasoned beef in the pot and sear both sides for 3-5 minutes.

Remove beef and set it aside. Add onion, garlic, and Fresno chili into the pot. Deglaze with 2 cups of beef stock and add sport pepper juice, bay leaf, and thyme. Return the meat to the Instant Pot.

Close the lid and cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes. Afterward, set the Instant Pot to Keep Warm for 40 minutes.

Slice beef thinly; strain the braising liquid. Combine sliced beef and braising liquid in the pot, adding the remaining 1 cup of broth.

If desired, dip hoagie roll insides into the braising liquid. Load meat onto rolls, then garnish with chopped giardiniera and serve immediately.
