  • Yield

    8 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons brandy
2 1/2 pounds beef eye round
2 1/2 cups low-salt beef broth
1 cup beer (such as pale ale)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 sprig rosemary
1 sprig thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 baguettes, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 4 pieces each

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Press Warm; set timer for 12 minutes (add or subtract time as needed) and press Start to heat the pressure cooker. Melt butter in the pot; add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add brandy and cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add beef, broth, beer, salt, garlic, rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, and pepper. Lock lid in place, making sure vent is sealed. Press Warm; set timer for 15 minutes and press Start again to cook.

    Step 2

    Let pressure release naturally. Remove lid and transfer beef to a carving board; let stand for 10 minutes. Slice beef very thinly against the grain. Transfer onions and jus to a bowl. Place bottom halves of baguettes on a work surface. Dip beef slices into cooking liquid, then place on baguette slices, divided equally. Top each with remaining bread. Serve each sandwich with an individual bowl of onions and jus for dipping.
