Why Chuck Roast?
Chuck roast is a versatile cut of beef known for its marbling and tenderness when cooked low and slow. When paired with bold seasonings and cooked in a pressure cooker, the result is melt-in-your-mouth meat that’s full of flavor. Plus, the cooking process is quick, making it perfect for busy schedules.
The Key Ingredients
Chuck Roast: The star of the dish, seasoned with a blend of spices for depth and richness.
Kerrygold Irish Butter: Adds a creamy, luxurious touch to the toasted ciabatta rolls.
Arugula: A fresh, peppery balance to the savory beef.
Ciabatta Rolls: Their crusty exterior and soft interior provide the perfect sandwich base.
Sea Salt: A light sprinkle at the end enhances every flavor and adds a touch of sophistication.
How to Make It
This recipe comes together in just a few simple steps:
Sear and Pressure Cook: Season the chuck roast with a mix of spices, salt, and pepper. Sear it in the pressure cooker until browned, then add sliced onions and beef stock. Pressure cook on high for an hour, followed by a natural release for 20 minutes.
Shred the Beef: Remove the roast, shred it with two forks, and mix it with some of the cooking liquid to keep it moist and flavorful.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Toast the ciabatta rolls, spread them generously with Kerrygold butter, layer on the shredded beef, and top with arugula. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt for that extra touch of flavor.
