Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients, except beef and bay, leaves to a blender and puree until the mixture is smooth.
  2. Add the beef chunks to the Instant Pot, If you have time, for extra flavor, you can saute them for a few minutes.
  3. Pour the pureed mixture on top of the beef and add the bay leaves.
  4. Lock the lid and point the valve to a sealed position.
  5. Cook for about 40 minutes on HIGH PRESSURE, followed by a 15 minutes Natural Pressure Release. The beef should be very tender and fall apart when shredded with a fork. If needed cook for 10-15 minutes more.
