Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches are a perfect way to put together a quick and easy dinner that’s delicious!
I was having one of those food cravings the other day and it was for a French Dip Sandwich. They are my favorite. Whenever there is one on the menu, I order it! I love making them at home too and I usually use my Crockpot French Dip Recipe. Making it in the slow cooker makes the meat so tender and juicy. The only problem was, my craving hit at about 3:00 in the afternoon and there was not enough time to make french dip sandwiches in the slow cooker.
Instant Pot French Dip to the rescue! I modified my favorite recipe to make it in the instant pot, and it was the perfect solution to making the same tender and juicy meat I usually make , but in a lot less time.

We love this recipe and have made it on multiple occasions. It is always a big hit. However, I am getting ready to make this now and do not have Dr. Pepper. Do you think I could substitute Coca-cola (non-diet)? Or would it change the taste?
Thank you!
