Cut roast into large chunks and rub with the onion powder, garlic powder, steak seasoning and oregano. Place into pot and add the garlic and bay leaves.
2 1/2 lbs beef roast, 1 Tbsp onion powder, 1 Tbsp garlic powder, 1 Tbsp steak seasoning, 2 tsp oregano, 3 whole garlic cloves, 2 bay leaves
Add the beef broth and just enough water to cover the meat.
32 oz beef broth, water
Close and lock the lid, turning the steam release valve to closed. Press Meat/Stew and adjust the time up to 60 minutes (high pressure.) When cooking time is up, allow 10-15 minutes of natural pressure release. Open the steam release valve to release any remaining steam.
After cooking, remove the meat from the pot and shred it with a fork. It should be quite tender and easy to shred. Make sure you take out the bay leaf and then smash the garlic in the pot.
Pour some of the liquid from the pot into the bowl with the meat to keep it warm and moist until serving. Strain the rest of the cooking liquids through a fine mesh strainer to use as "au jus" for dipping.
Butter and toast the bread under the broiler. Slice bread into equal pieces and pile on the meat, adding a slice of provolone cheese. Serve with the remaining jus for dipping.
6 slices provolone cheese, 1 loaf French bread
