Instant Pot Garlic Pepperoncini Beef

Instant Pot Garlic Pepperoncini Beef is a recipe I recently developed after re-making a favorite slow-cooker recipe. You are going to love not too spicy beef with just the right touch of garlic.

This recipe was originally found on my message board, CopyKatChat.com. The original recipe was for the slow cooker and I will include those directions below.

Ingredients

This recipe is super simple, you will need a roast, I used a top round roast, but this would well with a chuck roast, sirloin roast, or eye of round. Honestly, thanks to the Instant Pot, any type of roast will work.

You will need some fresh garlic and pepperoncini peppers. The peppers aren’t too hot, but they add a wonderful tang to the beef.

You will also need chicken stock and vegetable oil.

How to Make Pepperoncini Beef in an Instant Pot

I start by sauteeing the beef in a bit of vegetable oil. Then I simply add in the garlic, chicken stock, and pepperoncini peppers.

I like the way chicken stock compliments the flavor of beef. You may want to consider using a low sodium version of the stock, you can even use a no-salt version as well.

This recipe calls for cooking the roast on the manual setting. The manual setting uses high pressure. I like to use the manual setting because I feel like I have more control than using the manual setting when it comes to a roast. I do use their suggested settings for rice, steaming, and many of the other functions on the pot.

Cook the beef on manual high pressure for 70 minutes. Use either a natural or quick pressure release.

slow cooker Instructions

Saute roast in a pan, and transfer it to the slow cooker. Add garlic, peppers, and chicken stock. Cook on low for about 6 – 7 hours.

Serving Suggestions

I have a couple of serving suggestions for this beef, you can enjoy it as a pot roast. Or you may want to slice it and use it for sandwiches, wraps, or salads. I served up mine on toasted onion buns with provolone cheese.

    You should never add oil to a cold pan. Always pre-heat the pan, then add oil immediately before adding your food. A small amount of oil added to a hot pan will come up to temp pretty much instantly. If you put the oil in while you’re waiting for the pan to heat it will start to break down, which negatively impacts the flavor in your final product.

    In the instant pot, this is even easier than on the stove top since the IP tells you when Sautee has come up to temp.

      Nonsense. Think about it. If heating oil up from the room temperature of a cold pan starts to break it down, then adding it directly to a hot pan would do the same, only faster and, if it was true, it would change its bad properties very fast.

      Fact is, it DOESN’T

      Er ban mith!

    Hi Stephanie,
    This sounds terrific! Quick question: my pressure cooker isn’t an Instant Pot. What is the difference between the manual high pressure and other settings?
