French Dip Sandwiches

2-3 lb beef chuck roast
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 - 15 oz can beef broth (1 3/4 cups)
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
hoagie buns
swiss cheese slices

Remove and discard the fat from the roast. Place the trimmed roast in an instant pot. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, beef broth, bay leaf, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder. Pour mixture over the roast.

Place lid on Instant Pot with steam valve closed. Set to "manual" for 70 minutes on "high" pressure. Once finished cooking, do a quick release.

Take the meat out and shred it, then return the meat to the pot on "warm" setting for 10-15 min. Remove meat from broth, reserving the broth.

Distribute the meat on hoagies and top with swiss cheese. Place under a broiler until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted. 

Pour reserved broth through a fine mesh strainer, into a fat separator. Let the fat settle at the top for 5 minutes. Transfer the broth, without the fat, into bowls for dipping.
