Appliances: For best results, we recommend using the Mealthy Multipot.
- Generously season beef cubes with salt and black pepper and bring to room temperature.
- Heat oil in inner steel pot of pressure cooker set to Sauté on Normal.
- Sear beef in hot oil until browned on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Pour wine into the pot to deglaze, scraping the browned beef bits from the bottom with the edge of a flat-edged wooden utensil.
- Stir beef broth, oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder into the pot.
- Lock pressure cooker lid in place and set steam vent to Sealing. Select Meat/Stew and cook on High pressure for 25 minutes.
- Let pressure release naturally.
- Preheat oven to broil.
- Slice rolls open and place on a baking sheet. Pile as much meat as desired onto each roll. Top meat with 2 slices provolone cheese.
- Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bread is toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch carefully as all ovens are different and the bread can burn quickly!
- Top sandwiches with pepperoncini peppers and close the top portion of the roll.
Mealthy Tip: If you have leftover meat, it freezes well. Spoon it into a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. To defrost, transfer the container to the refrigerator for a day if you have time; then reheat in a pot on the stove or in the microwave. If you are short on time, place the container in a bowl of warm water in the sink, refreshing the warm water every 5 to 10 minutes or so until it begins to defrost. Then reheat on the stove in a pot.
