Pressure Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich makes a delicious, kid-friendly, and filling meal on its own. However, if you want a soup and sandwich combo we’d recommend serving it up with a pot Philly Cheese Steak Soup or even taco Soup. You may want a slimmer bread than a hoagie bun to make an easier to dip sandwich.

HOW TO MAKE PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICHES IN THE INSTANT POT

  • Prepping beef: Start by seasoning 4-5 pounds beef with kosher salt and pepper. Then set your instant pot to the saute setting. Add the oil to the base and once it’s hot add the roast to brown. Sear on all sides for 4-5 minutes. 
  • Pressure cook: Add the beef broth, beer, and Worcestershire sauce to the instant pot. Then put the onions to one side of the beef. Put the lid on instant pot and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. Allow a natural pressure release for 15 minutes instead of using the quick release function. Remove the beef with tongs. Then add in the green peppers to the liquid left and saute for 15 minutes.  
  • Slice: Let the beef cool for 10 minutes before slicing it. Slice against the grain with a knife or pull apart with 2 forks. 
  • Assemble the sandwich: Add cheese whiz to both sides of your hoagie rolls. Then place meat onto the sandwich followed by cooked onions and bell peppers. Serve the remaining liquid as au jus on the side for dipping.

VARIATIONS ON INSTANT POT PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SANDWICHES

  • Cheese: Along with the cheese sauce you can add slices of cheese. Try adding provolone cheese, cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, or pepper jack cheese. 
  • Chicken Philly Cheese: You can make Instant Pot Chicken Sandwiches by using chicken breast instead of beef. Instant Pot Chicken Philly Sandwich won’t taste as authentic, but it’s still incredibly delicious. 
  • Steak: Instead of chuck roast try using sirloin steak, roast beef, ribeye, or tenderloin in the pressure cooker cheese steak recipe. 
  • Bread: You can essentially use any kind of crusty bread for this sandwich. French bread, focaccia, or sourdough would do nicely.
