Chopped Beef Instructions
- Trim the chuck roast of any hard areas of fat and or connective tissue and chop the beef into 2" chunks. Season with the seasoning blend.4-5 pound chuck roast, 2½ teaspoons kosher or fine grind sea salt, 2 teaspoons black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Heat the oil in the inner pot of your NInja Foodi or Pressure Cooker on high sear/sauté and once the oil is hot, brown the beef in batches until nicely browned. You don't need to remove one batch of beef before adding another, just move the browned beef to the side of the pot and add the next batch.2 Tablespoons olive oil
- Once all the beef has browned, deglaze the pot with the vinegar and beef stock. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any stuck on bits from sautéeing. Add the chopped onions and garlic. Stir and put the pressure lid on.1 large sweet or yellow onion, 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar, ½ cup beef broth, 1 bulb garlic
- Make sure the valve is in the sealed position and select high pressure for 20 minutes. Hit start. When the time is up, allow the pot to natural release the pressure for 10 minutes. Then, after 10 minutes is up, manually release any remaining pressure.
- Break up the meat into smaller pieces with tongs and this will also break up the onion pieces. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and place it into a large container or bowl. Strain the juices into a separate container. *If you are not making your sandwiches right away, you can store the juices and meat together in one large container and refrigerate or freeze until use.
Chopped Beef Sandwiches with peppers & onions
- While the beef is pressure cooking, slice the onions and peppers into thin strips about ½" thick. Heat 2-3 Tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and once hot, add the peppers and onions. Season with salt and pepper and sauté just until tender and slightly caramelized. On medium heat, this can take 20 minutes or longer.3 tablespoon olive oil, 2 green bell peppers, 2 large sweet onions, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½-1 teaspoon kosher or fine grind sea salt
- Toast the inside of the rolls by placing them face down in a clean dry skillet and heating it over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. Spread the toasted roll with mayo if desired.8 6" French bread rolls or sub rolls
- Add the chopped beef to the pepper and onion mixture along with about ¾ cup of the au jus and heat over medium heat. Top with the provolone cheese and allow to melt. Toss together and divide the mixture between the toasted rolls.16 slices provolone cheese
- Top with any condiments you like and Enjoy!
