The BEST way to satisfy the whole family is with a delicious sandwich and we’re sharing 21 EASY Instant Pot Sandwich Recipes you’ll love.
Whether you have a hankering for some cuban sandwiches, roast beef sandwiches, or maybe some delicious french dip sandwiches, instant pot recipes are the way to go.
Pressure cooking has a much faster cooking time than using a slow cooker, so your meals come together in less time. Using the Instant Pot also promises to give you tender beef (or any other cut of meat) every time. And maybe the best part is less clean up with one pot cooking. Sweet!
Cooking with high pressure helps to break down tough membranes in even tough cuts of meat, leaving you with fork tender roast beef, chicken, or pork. This makes it the perfect option for making fillings for sandwiches.
Tips for Cooking Sandwich Meat in The Instant Pot
Different cuts of meat cook in different ways. If you want tender meat with as much flavor as possible, try these simple tips:
- ALWAYS check the individual recipe card for instructions specific to that recipe!
- Depending on the recipe, you can get great flavor with just a handful of basic ingredients using a dry rub. Try using things like steak seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, or simple salt and black pepper to start!
- Sear the meat before pressure cooking. Use the sauté function with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of the pot to sear your meat on all sides. Those little browned bits are a treasure trove of delicious flavor, and searing helps lock the juices inside the meat.
- Use enough liquid to allow the pot to come to pressure. You can use water, beef broth, or even a cup of red wine as your liquid. Read the recipe for their suggestion on the best liquid to use.
- Leave enough time to use a natural release instead of a quick release. This will give you the most tender meat ever!
- If your meat is still tough, cook for a longer time. While pressure cooking is much faster than slow cooking, a roast will still take a long time if you really want tender meat. Start with the cook time the recipe calls for and then adjust according to the size and type of your meat.
