2cupsbeef broth

Instructions
Turn the Instant Pot on and set it to Saute. Once it has heated for 2-3 minutes add the oil to the Instant Pot.
1 Tablespoon oil
Season the chuck roast with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Sear the roast in the hot oil of the Instant Pot. Cook it for about 2 minutes per side until it is nicely browned.
Take the chuck roast out of the pressure cooker and set it aside. Turn the Instant Pot off and add the broth to the pot, stirring to deglaze. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any bits of browned beef that are stuck. This helps prevent a BURN error.
2 cups beef broth
Put the roast back in the Instant Pot and sprinkle the au jus packet over the top of the meat.
1 ounce packet au jus mix
Close the lid, making sure the sealing ring in place and pressure valve is closed. Set the Instant Pot on Manual, high pressure for 1 hour and 40 minutes.
It will take about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to reach pressure. Once the cooking time is done let the pressure release manually for about 20 minutes. Then release any remaining pressure using the valve.
Open the Instant Pot and take the meat out with tongs or a slotted spoon. Use two forks to shred the meat.
Put the meat on a crusty roll and top it with provolone cheese.
6 slices provolone cheese, 6 crust rolls or hoagie buns
Ladle out the cooking broth into ramekins for dipping.
