1/2c Apple Jam

French Dip-wich

2.5lb Beef Roast, Salt and Peppered. Allow to sit about 20 minutes.
Premix Broth: 2c Beef Broth, 1 Garlic Clove (Minced), 1T Minced Dried Onions, 1tsp Dried Rosemary, 1tsp Dried Thyme, 4T Worcestershire.
Spray Instant Pot with Butter Flavor Cooking Spray. Add Premixed Broth and place in Roast. Pressure cook on high for 45 minutes. (It’s okay if it’s not done. We are simmering it next.)
Remove Meat from Juice, RESERVING the Broth Juice. Cut up Meat. Set aside. Add a drizzle of Olive Oil to skillet. Heat skillet, add 1T Tomato Paste and fry Paste up. Add in Meat and mix around with Paste. Add in 1 Au Jus Packet and mix around. Then, add in 2c Reserved Broth Juice (Use water to reach 2c, if not enough. *See Notes). Bring to boil, then, simmer for about 5-10 minutes. Optional to Melt Provolone on top. Serve on Buns. Dip in excess Juices.

—
Freezer friendly: Allow to cool some. Freeze. Add to Crock to heat up.

I was making this as a freezer meal for later time eatings. In making the above recipe, it gave me about 3c of Broth Juice reserved from the instant pot. So, I had about 1c Reserved Broth Juice left, outside from the 2c I needed for the French Dip recipe. Instead of tossing it, I used that leftover juice and cooked some Green Beans, from the garden, and Pork Steaks. Just added all to the skillet, and cooked down juices. It was delish.

NOTES: If a more tamed flavor is desired, use desired ratio of Reserved Broth Juice, with Water. Just simmer a lil longer when you mix with Paste and Au Jus. Example: Instead of 2c Reserved Broth Juices, use 1 1/2c Reserved Broth Juice with 1/2c Water.

TAY’s UltiMelt (Steak Melt Manwich)

Texas Toast Bread
Toppings: Mayo, Shredd. Cheese (We use Mild Cheddar AND Italian 6 Cheese)

Marinade:
1/3c Soy Sauce
1/2c Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3c fresh Lemon Juice (I’ve used Fridge Kind, as well)
1/4c Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 tsp Hot Pepper Sauce (We used Louisiana)
1 tsp Regular Mustard
1 tsp Onion Powder
a sprinkle of Cayenne Powder
1T + 1/2T Garlic Powder
3T dried Basil
1T + 1/2T Dried Parsley
1 tsp Course Black Pepper
1 tsp Dried Minced Garlic (I’ve used 2tsp Fresh Garlic, as well)

Vegis:
Green Pepper, sliced into strips
Red Pepper, sliced into strips
Onions, sliced into strips
Mushrooms, sliced into strips
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Shakes of Dried Oregano

Steaks: Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Pour marinade over desired type of meat (Preferably a slab of dead cow or chops). Cover, and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Cook meat as desired. Try our best technique for a good steak. (Below). Cut up. Vegis: Cut up. Lay into foil. Drizzle a LITTLE Olive Oil on. Sprinkle with Oregano. Cook, we do on grill. Butter Flavor Cooking Spray skillet. Brown each side of Toast. OR Grill each side of Toast, Butter it.
Top with Toppings.

Steak Cooking Tip: Olive oil in skillet, get that pan hot, I mean I want that steak to sizzle or you’ve ruined your whole meal. Sear for about 3minutes on each side, you want a nice brown, but not fully cooked. Just leave it cook, don’t move it too much! This locks the juices in. Juices rise when cooked. By searing each side, you lock those juices in. Transfer and bake, or grill til desired. Remember that the steaks cook as they rest and absorb the juices. So, allow a few minute rest and cook to just under desired steak- Rare, Med., etc. Or all the way on grill, just be sure it sizzles once it hit it! No constant flipping!!! One and done!
