Ingredients

For The Roast

1 beef roast 2-3 lbs
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley
1 tablespoon oil
1 small sweet onion thinly sliced
2 cups beef broth
2 packets brown gravy mix
Texas Toast

For Mashed Potatoes

4 cups peeled and diced russet potatoes around 6-7 medium potatoes
2 ounces softened cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions

Start by placing your kosher salt, pepper, and garlic salt with parsley in a bowl. Mix it up and then rub on both sides of your raw beef roast.
In your Instant Pot pour the tablespoon of oil and turn the saute feature on high. Let it get hot, and then place your roast in the pot to sear the sides.
You will sear for 4 minutes or so on each side of the roast. This will add texture and flavor to your roast.
Now when your roast is seared on both sides, turn off the saute and pour in your beef broth. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any stuck-on debris. Add in your sliced onions on top of your roast, and place your Instant Pot lid on the pressure cooker. Make sure the valve is set to sealing.
Cook high pressure for 75 minutes followed by a 15-minute natural release.
While the roast is naturally releasing, wash, peel, and dice up your potatoes. Place them in a steam basket. If you don't have a steam basket you can toss on top of the roast in Instant Pot.
Once you release remaining pressure off, open the lid and place potatoes in the Instant Pot. Place the lid back on and make sure it is sealed on the vent. Cook for 15 minutes high pressure followed by a quick release. Set the basket right on top of the roast.
Once done, remove potatoes from Instant Pot, and place potatoes in a bowl or stand mixer and add in milk, sour cream, butter, cream cheese, and mix up into mashed potatoes. If the potatoes are too thick add a bit more milk. Then salt and pepper to taste the potatoes.
For the roast, you will remove from the Instant Pot and let rest 10 minutes. Then shred up the beef with meat claws or two forks.
In the instant pot remove any fat or drippings in the broth. Then turn to saute and pour in your gravy packets. With a whisk whip up the mixture until it thickens. Stir very often or it will burn.
Once everything is all done, take your Texas toast and slice in half. Lay one slice down on the plate. Pile on some shredded roast, top with gravy, followed by another piece of bread and more gravy. Then add your scoop of mashed potatoes and gravy as well!
Serve up your Instant Pot hot beef sandwich and homemade mashed potatoes!

Notes

Slow Cooker Method

Saute your roast in a skillet vs your Instant Pot. You will season the exact same way.
Place your roast in the slow cooker, with broth and top with onion slices. Cook for 6 hours on low.
Then at the 6-hour mark prep your potatoes and dice just as you would for the pressure cooker method. Place in the slow cooker and cook an additional 2 hours or until potatoes are tender.
Remove potatoes and make mashed potatoes.
Remove roast and let rest before shredding.
Turn slow cooker to high and whisk in gravy mixture to help it thicken.

You can also cook potatoes on the stove if you don't want to make them in the slow cooker.
