Ingredients

  • 1 lb Beef Bottom Round Roast
  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Mushroom Soup and Dip Mix
  • 1/2 C 120mL Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 C 150g Sliced Mushrooms
  • 2 C 168g Frozen Onion and Pepper Blend, or freshly sliced bell peppers and white onion
  • 1/8 tsp Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Trim the fat from the roast and slice it in half if necessary. (Most roasts I find are 2+ pounds, and you it as even as possible for best results during cooking. Set the remaining roast aside for another batch of cheesesteak or other recipes.)

  • After the 2 minutes, turn the Instant Pot off. Mix the soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, onion and pepper blend, and mushrooms to a large bowl before adding them to the Instant Pot. 
  • Seal the Instant Pot and cook on manual with quick release pressure for 4-5 minutes, depending on how well done you'd like your cheesesteak.

  • Use a knife to chop the roast into small pieces or long strips depending on how you prefer your cheesesteak. Add the roast back in the Instant Pot to rest in the remaining juices for a few minutes.

  • Serve as sandwiches, with fries or in baked potatoes, or lower carb/calorie options like cauliflower rice or a bed of roasted veggies. 

Notes

  • Each serving has 5 Smart Points.
  • The nutrition information is for a 120 gram serving (about 1/2 cup) of the cheesesteak on its own. Be sure to account for other ingredients like the chipotle sauce, bread, or fries. 
  • If you're tracking macros or your nutrition intake, different cuts of beef can be tricky. I recommend using the USDA Food Database to find the specific cut and fat trimmings. 
  • If you wanted to use a slow cooker, follow the same steps but use a large skillet to pan sear the roast before slow cooking on high for about an hour or on low for 2-3 hours. You may want to save the vegetables for the last hour or half hour if you're cooking on low.
