By using a slow-cooked beef roast, these are awesome!
Save any extra sauce—it's great for dipping leftover rolls.
Ingredients:
-
1 boneless beef chuck roast
(I can often get a beef chuck tender roast from Walmart, close to 3 lbs, for just over $11)
- 12 Tb cooking oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 large onion, chopped (OR: frozen chopped onions)
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2/3 cup chili sauce (OR: a desired amount of hot sauce)
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 Tb Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tb prepared mustard
- 2 Tb molasses
- 2 Tb lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1216 kaiser rolls

Pressure-cook meat for a short time:
I always ‘jump-start’ large cuts of meat before slow-cooking:
- Put cooking oil in instant pot; set to sauté (more).
- Brown roast on all sides; turn off instant pot.
- Add beef broth to instant pot.
- Manual (high pressure), 20 minutes; quick or natural release (your choice).
-
Slow-cook:
Add all remaining ingredients (except rolls) to instant pot along with the roast; stir well.
Slow-cook (high) until meat flakes easily (all day)!
-
Shred meat:
Remove roast from instant pot, and shred with a fork.
Return shredded meat to pot.
-
Serve on rolls:
Use a slotted spoon to put meat on rolls: you don't want too much sauce (which can make the rolls soggy).
Put extra sauce in a small pitcher, on the table.

How to eat:
If you don't use too much sauce, you can eat these like a hamburger.
If you load up with sauce, cut with a knife and eat with a fork.
