1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp. dried rosemary
½ tsp. dried thyme
½ tsp. garlic powder
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
3 lbs beef chuck roast

2 cups unsalted beef broth
2 medium green bell peppers, sliced

Instructions

Cut beef roast into 2-inch pieces. Place beef in a large bowl and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Toss to combine.
Set the Instant Pot to the "Sauté" setting. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil until shimmering. Add onions and sauté for 2 minutes, or until tender. Add garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Add beef and beef broth and stir to combine.
Close lid, turn vent to "Sealing", select the "Manual" setting and set time to 35 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, use the quick release method to release any remaining pressure.
Transfer beef to a large bowl and shred with two forks. Return shredded beef to Instant Pot.
To assemble the sandwiches: Split the rolls in half. Fill with cheese slices and shredded beef. Top with sautéed peppers, giardiniera and pepperoncini, if desired.
