Instructions

  1. Turn the Instant Pot on "saute" and add about 1 Tbsp of olive oil to the bottom of the pot. Cook chuck roast for several minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Remove from pot.
  2. While on saute, add in beef broth and scrape the bits of meat off the bottom of the pan. This is called "deglazing." This will ensure you do not receive the "burn notice." Turn off.
  3. Add the pressed garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, chipotle in adobo sauce, cumin, onion powder, oregano, cloves, salt, and pepper to the beef broth in the pot. Give a quick stir.
  4. Add the browned chuck roast to the mixture.
  5. Secure the lid and make sure the valve is turned to sealing.
  6. Select "high pressure" and cook time of 60 minutes. Instant Pot will take about 10-15 minutes to come to pressure before counting down the cook time.
  7. When the cook time ends, allow it naturally release for 10 minutes (this means leave it alone)! After the ten minutes, do a quick release of the valve and open the pressure cooker.
  8. Remove the meat and shred the beef on a cutting board. If you like your meat extra juicy, reserve the juices in the bottom of the instant pot to serve over the meat. Or, assemble your tacos and burrito bowls and discard the juice. 

Notes

  • Depending on your mood or taste buds, barbacoa beef can be served in many ways. Just like making taco meat or carnitas, you can serve barbacoa beef on a tortilla and eat like a taco!
