00:01

hello this is Chef John from

00:03

foodwishes.com

00:04

with Mississippi pot roast cheese

00:08

steak that's right I made a cheese steak

00:11

with what is arguably the best bra's

00:13

beef recipe ever and it was so amazing I

00:17

had a share and according to my sources

00:19

in New Orleans the timing for this is

00:22

perfect so with that let's go ahead and

00:24

get started with the five ingredients

00:26

we're going to need for the beef which

00:28

will be 4 to 5 lbs of beef chuck roast

00:31

and then we'll also need two packets of

00:33

magic dust in the form of powdered ranch

00:35

dressing mix as well as some powdered

00:38

aou and then we'll also need some mildly

00:41

spicy pepperon Chini Peppers as well as

00:44

half a cup of the brine they're packed

00:45

in and then last and certainly never

00:48

least an entire stick of unsalted butter

00:51

that we cut into slices and please

00:54

notice I had to buy two beef chuck

00:55

roasts to make 5 lbs right a common

00:58

mistake with this recipe people just buy

01:00

one of these roasts but then use the

01:02

same amount of the other ingredients

01:04

which ends up coming out way too salty

01:06

in my opinion so make sure you buy

01:08

enough beef or cut the other ingredients

01:10

in half and what we'll do is take our

01:12

meat and head to our slow cooker or in

01:15

my case instant pot and what I did is

01:17

poured in a little bit of vegetable oil

01:20

since besides the slow cooker setting an

01:22

instant pot also has a sauté setting so

01:25

I figured hey let me go ahead and brown

01:26

the meat first since brown meat always

01:28

tastes better than non- brown brown meat

01:30

generally right in the classic recipe

01:32

the meat is not brown first so if you

01:34

are using a slow cooker you can just

01:36

transfer the meat right in or of course

01:39

Brown it in a pan first and then

01:41

transfer it in but anyway since this

01:43

machine Browns and slow Cooks I figured

01:46

why not and yes that's probably going to

01:48

take an extra 5 or 10 minutes but we're

01:51

going to be slow cooking this thing for

01:52

like 8 to 10 hours so I don't see how

01:55

those extra few minutes are going to be

01:56

a problem but anyway once I had both

01:59

pieces of meat nicely browned on both

02:01

sides I went ahead and dumped in my

02:02

pepper brine so I could quickly deglaze

02:05

the bottom before switching to the slow

02:07

cook mode and once any of that seared on

02:10

goodness was dissolved off the bottom I

02:12

went ahead and transferred my meat back

02:14

in which yes for 5 lbs of beef was a

02:16

tight fit but eventually I got that meat

02:19

snuggled together nicely and then no

02:22

matter what cooking vessel you're using

02:24

whether it's a slow cooker instant pot

02:26

or Dutch oven we will drizzle over a

02:28

small splash of water

02:30

at which point we'll take our powdered

02:31

ranch dressing and we will sprinkle that

02:34

evenly over the top and then we'll do

02:36

the exact same thing with our aou gravy

02:38

mix and yes there are definitely things

02:40

on the ingredient list of these that we

02:42

don't want to be eating on a regular

02:44

basis but a couple times a year for a

02:47

recipe like this I think we're all going

02:48

to be fine and that's it once those have

02:51

been applied we'll finish up with our

02:53

slices of butter that we will distribute

02:55

evenly over the top and then lastly we

02:58

will place some Pepper genen Peppers on

02:59

on top or you pick the number I think

03:02

there's like five or six in the original

03:04

recipe but a few more or a few less is

03:06

totally fine I mean you are after all

03:09

the Robin Chapman of how to do this beef

03:11

man and as the inventor of this recipe I

03:14

don't think she cares how many you put

03:16

and that's it I popped on the lid and

03:18

set that to low slow cook mode for 8

03:20

hours but it did not work it just stayed

03:24

on preheating for like a half hour so

03:26

then I tried the higher slow cook

03:28

setting for 4 hours

03:30

and that did not work either it just

03:32

stayed on preheating mode for like a

03:34

half hour so I did what any great chef

03:37

does when faced with adversity I gave up

03:41

and I transferred everything into the

03:42

slow cooker which is where I should have

03:44

just started in the first place

03:46

probably and by the way apparently the

03:48

problems with slow cooking in an instant

03:50

pot are well documented but I don't get

03:52

around or read much so I did not know

03:55

that but anyway like I said I

03:57

transferred everything in and after

03:59

after arranging those Peppers over the

04:01

top for no apparent reason I popped on

04:04

the lid and set my slow cooker to low

04:06

mode for 8 hours and the important point

04:09

to remember here is it doesn't matter

04:11

what you cook this in as long as it

04:13

Cooks low and slow for about 8 to 10

04:15

hours and your meat is very very fork

04:18

tender and will easily pull apart you're

04:21

done and this is me checking the meat

04:23

after about 8 hours and it was

04:25

technically fork tender as in that fork

04:27

slid in Fairly easily but it did not

04:30

seem to be easily shreddable yet which

04:32

is actually the point we want to get it

04:34

to so I let it go for another hour or so

04:37

and I continue to test and observe since

04:40

contrary to popular belief you can

04:42

actually overcook something like this

04:44

and the meat can get kind of dry and

04:46

chalky so once it is perfect we don't

04:48

want to cook any further than that and

04:51

right here I'm going to show you what

04:52

perfect looks like right fork tender

04:54

plus the meat breaks apart very very

04:56

easily and besides all this beautiful

04:59

soft SU UL meat this method also

05:01

produces a ton of beautiful buttery

05:03

cooking liquids which usually get

05:05

spooned over the meat once it's served

05:07

on mashed potatoes or rice or pasta or

05:10

biscuits or bread but we're about to

05:13

build a cheese steak so before we break

05:15

this up with a couple Forks I'm going to

05:17

go ahead and ladle some of the juices

05:18

out and Reserve those for later since

05:21

it's going to be a little easier to pull

05:22

apart that way plus we don't need it

05:24

quite as Saucy for a

05:26

sandwich and if you've never actually

05:28

tasted Mississippi pot roast before

05:30

prepare to be shocked right this stuff

05:33

is so super flavorful and insanely rich

05:36

and beefy it really is hard to

05:39

describe right I'm not exactly sure what

05:41

happens when those potent powders

05:42

penetrate the meat but whatever it is is

05:45

borderline magical and I think you're

05:48

going to be just as stunned as I always

05:49

am by just how delicious this is and the

05:53

good news is if you do the 5B batch

05:55

you're going to have plenty to try in

05:57

lots of different formats but if we are

05:59

going to make a cheese steak what we'll

06:01

do is cut open our favorite sandwich

06:03

roll and we'll place in a couple slices

06:05

of

06:06

provolone oh and don't worry I'm going

06:08

to use some cheese whiz also and once

06:10

our bun has been cheesed we will

06:12

transfer that into the center of a 400°

06:15

oven for about 7 to 10 minutes or until

06:18

our cheese is melted and the edges of

06:20

the bun start to toast at which point we

06:23

will Top This with as much Mississippi

06:24

pot roast as we see fit which for me is

06:27

going to be a lot which by the way way

06:30

is why I only use two Thin slices of

06:32

provolone right this beef is very rich

06:34

and anxious so we really don't need a

06:36

ton of cheese here and that's it once my

06:39

bun was beefed I garnished with the

06:41

other Philly cheese steak cheese which

06:43

of course is cheese whiz oh and don't

06:45

forget when you call this cheese make

06:47

sure you use the air quotes and that's

06:50

it we'll finish up with a whole bunch of

06:51

pickle peppers obviously using the

06:54

pepperon Chini as well as I also tossed

06:56

in some sweet pickled red peppers and

06:59

that's it I grabbed my sandwich and took

07:01

way too many pictures before I played it

07:04

up and then grabbed a knife to cut this

07:06

in half which in real life I would never

07:08

do but of course here we have to do the

07:11

big reveal and as magnificent as this

07:14

stuff is on mashed potatoes or some

07:16

other kind of starchy side this just did

07:19

not make one of the best cheese steaks

07:20

I've ever had it actually made for one

07:22

of the best beef sandwiches I've ever

07:24

had and no I did not call this a Philly

07:27

cheese steak since that is put together

07:29

much different L plus I did not want
