Ingredients

For the roast:

3 lb boneless beef chuck roast trimmed of excess fat
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup beef broth
1 cup water
2 pkgs brown gravy dry mix

For the mashed potatoes:

3 lb potatoes peeled and cubed
1 ½ tsp salt
¾ cup milk
3 Tbsp butter
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ cup sour cream

For the sandwich:

12 slices white bread or Texas toast

Instructions

Rub the salt and garlic powder into the beef roast. Pour the broth into the Instant Pot and place the chuck roast in the bottom of the pot.
Cover and lock the lid into place. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set to cook on manual/pressure for 70 minutes. When the time is done, do a quick pressure release.
Open the Instant Pot and place a steamer basket on top of the beef. Add the potatoes to the steamer basket. If you don’t have a steamer basket, just add the potatoes straight into the Instant Pot. Lock the lid into place and make sure the valve is set to seal. Cook on manual/pressure for 8 minutes. When the time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes, then move to quick release to release any remaining pressure. Remove the lid.
Add the potatoes to a large bowl and mash. Add the butter, milk, kosher salt, garlic powder, and sour cream. Stir/mash until smooth and creamy.
Move the roast to a cutting board and let it rest. Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Slowly whisk in the water, followed by the gravy packages. It will start to thicken in a couple of minutes. To make a thicker gravy, add in a cornstarch slurry (in a small bowl, stir together 1-2 Tbsp of cornstarch with 1-2 Tbsp of water until smooth. Then pour the mixture into the Instant Pot. The cornstarch mixture will quickly thicken the contents of the pot. Add salt and pepper to the gravy to taste.
Slice the roast or shred it. Toast the slices of bread if desired. Place 2 slices of bread on a plate and top with a portion of roast beef. Scoop some mashed potatoes onto the plate. Ladle gravy over the sandwich and mashed potatoes. Serves 6.
