Instant Pot Arm Roast

This Instant Pot Arm Roast is quite the time-saver, resulting in tender shredded bits of beef that you’ll swear has been simmering away all day in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 3-4 lb arm roast trimmed (bone removed*, cut into large chunks)
  • 1 white or yellow onion sliced (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose seasoning
  • 1 ounce bottle beer (I used Alaskan Amber) 
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 5-6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped (optional) 
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 

Instructions

  1. Add the sliced onions and crushed garlic to the Instant Pot (optional). Add the apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and a 12-ounce bottle of beer.
  2. Sprinkle the adobo seasoning (or another all-purpose seasoning) all over each arm roast chunk, making sure to coat the exterior evenly.
  3. Add the seasoned beef arm roast chunks to the Instant Pot.
  4. Put the lid on and set your Instant Pot to High Pressure for 45 minutes (I also select the Keep Warm setting). The Instant Pot will take around 10-12 minutes to come to pressure and start cooking. 
  5. When the beef arm roast has finished cooking, let the pressure naturally release. If you opt for a quick release, I can’t promise the meat will be as tender as this rapid air expulsion tends to dry meat out. This will take around 20 minutes. The steam release valve will fall when the pressure has naturally dissipated.
  6. Transfer the cooked beef to a large bowl and use two forks to shred it into smaller pieces. Toss the bone if you used it during cooking.
  7. I like to add some of the liquid remaining in the Instant Pot back to the shredded meat to keep it juicy - 2-3 tablespoons - and then save the rest of the liquid for another use.
  8. Use the shredded beef for tacos, sandwiches, and more! The flavor is neutral enough for many different applications.

Notes

  • *Toss that bone into the Instant Pot while it cooks for even more beefy flavor.
