Hello, this is chef john from foodwishes.com with mississippi pot roast cheesesteak.

00:07

That's right, i made a cheesesteak with what is arguably the best braised beef recipe ever, and it was so amazing i

00:17

had a share. And according to my sources in new orleans, the timing for this is perfect.

00:22

So with that, let's go ahead and get started with the five ingredients we're going to need for the beef, which

00:28

will be four to five pounds of beef chuck roast.

00:31

And then we'll also need two packets of magic dust in the form of powdered ranch dressing mix, as well as some powdered au jus, and

00:39

then we'll also need some mildly spicy pepperoncini peppers, as well as half a cup of the brine they're packed in.

00:46

And then last and certainly never least, an entire stick of unsalted butter that we cut into slices. And please

00:54

notice, i had to buy two beef chuck roasts to make five pounds, right?

00:57

A common mistake with this recipe, people just buy one of these roasts, but

01:01

then use the same amount of the other ingredients, which ends up coming out way too salty in my opinion.

01:07

So make sure you buy enough beef or cut the other ingredients in half. And what we'll do is take our meat and

01:13

head to our slow cooker, or in my case, instant pot.

01:16

And what i did is poured in a little bit of vegetable oil, since besides the slow cooker setting, an instant pot also has a saute setting.

01:23

So i figured, hey, let me go ahead and

01:26

brown the meat first, since brown meat always tastes better than non-brown meat, generally. Right?

01:31

In the classic recipe, the meat is not brown first, so

01:34

if you are using a slow cooker, you can just transfer the meat.
