Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- 1 cup full flavored beef broth
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- Half of a sweet onion minced
- 4 chipotle peppers from a can seeds removed, minced
- 2 TB adobo sauce from same can as chipotle peppers
- 4 tsp ground cumin
- 3 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp ground clove
- 3 bay leaves
For the Beef:
- 4 lb chuck roast trimmed
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3 TB olive oil
Instructions
- Make Sauce (can be made up to 2 days ahead): In a bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Stir to incorporate well. If making ahead of time, keep chilled in airtight container until ready to use.
- Slice beef into 2" x 2" chunks. Sprinkle kosher salt and pepper evenly onto all sides of beef pieces. Set Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add olive oil; once oil is heated, add sear beef pieces in 2 batches to avoid overcrowding. Once all sides of beef pieces are nicely browned, place all the beef into the bowl of Instant Pot.
- Pour your prepared sauce evenly over the beef. Stir to combine. Cover tightly and set pressure cooker for 1 hour. Use Instant Release method to release pressure when beef is done. Gently shred the beef with forks or tongs, allowing shredded beef to soak up the juices afterwards.
- Serve beef barbacoa over rice, tortillas, salad, or tortilla chips.
Notes
- Leftovers can be kept in airtight containers in fridge. Perfect for meal prep or freezer meals!
