Spray a cast iron skillet with avocado oil spray and heat to medium high.

Season both sides of the chuck roasts with salt and pepper. Individually sear both sides of each roast for 2-3 minutes a side. Add to instant pot.

In a bowl, mix the giardiniera, soy sauce, garlic powder and onion soup mix. Stir until combined. Pour over beef.

Add 5 cups of beef broth to the instant pot.

Seal the instant pot and cook on high pressure for 1:40 minutes (100 minutes). Let sit 20 minutes before releasing the pressure.

Let cool on a cutting board and remove any big pieces of fat and pull apart the beef.

To make sandwiches: add beef to good French rolls, top with provolone cheese and either broil, air fry or grill the sandwich until the cheese is melty.

Strain the au jus from the instant pot and reheat upon serving for dipping.
