French Dip - Instant Pot

Pressure Cookers...  hmmm.... I think my mom had one of those??  Apparently they are all the rage again!  My sister told me a while back that she had an Instant Pot.  It's supposedly a new and improved pressure cooker. She's told me a couple of times how much she's liked cooking in it...  I'm a sucker for Amazon and of course in July they had the Instant Pot on special for Amazon Day.  Yep, I bought one.  I hadn't used it - kept it boxed up for the move, but recently got it out.  I wasn't sure exactly how to use it - honestly I wasn't super impressed with the recipe book and instructions that came with it, so I've been doing a lot of Pinterest searching and Googling!  I have to admit - this dinner was amazing!  I got this recipe from http://www.number-2-pencil.com/.  It was amazing so I had to share it!  Here's a direct link to the recipe:  french dip sandwiches
I followed her recipe exactly - again - AMAZING!!
