What is Roast Beef Manhattan?
A roast beef Manhattan is usually an open-face sandwich made with bread, tender beef placed inside and creamy mashed potatoes topped with gravy poured all over the entire meal.
The dish that is known as a “Manhattan” in many parts of the United States actually has nothing to do with New York City. It actually started in Indianapolis around the 1940s, in a small deli. However, it is said to be named by Naval Ordnance Plant Indianapolis workers who trained on the fabrication of the Norden Bombsight in Manhattan during World War II.

How to make Roast Beef Manhattan
1. Turn the Instant pot on to sauté and brown the roast on all sides. I usually use strong tongs to do this. I pour just enough water to cover the bottom slightly so it doesn’t burn. You can cut the roast into sections if you prefer to maneuver it a bit easier.
2. Pour all the packets on top of the roast. You can smooth them out over the roast if you like.
4. Add the beef broth around the sides and then the middle.
6. Pressure cook for 90 minutes with a 15 minute NPR (natural pressure release).
7. Remove the roast to a plate.
9. Press the saute button. Make a slurry of the cornstarch and water to thicken the gravy. Add it to the pot and stir until it thickens.
10. With two forks or shredding claws, begin to shred the beef roast.
11. Serve the roast over potatoes or rice and drizzle the gravy over the top. Enjoy!
