Share:
Ingredients
- 2 lb of beef chunks from the shoulder or round
- 1 Roma tomato
- 3 dried guajillo chiles
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp kosher salt or salt to taste
- freshly cracked black pepper
- ¼ cup Freshly chopped cilantro
- 1 lime
Instructions
MAKE CHILE SAUCE:
- Rip off the stems of each chili and remove the seeds. Tear the chile into chunky pieces and put them into a highspeed blender with all the spices. Cover the ingredients with 3-4 cups of boiling hot water or beef broth until all of the ingredients are submerged. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- After the chiles have hydrated, blend all of the ingredients until a smooth red sauce forms.
COOK BEEF:
- Place the beef into your instant pot, season the meat with a generous amount of course sea salt.
- Add the red sauce into the pot with the meat and cover with the lid and cook on the meat setting for 35 minutes.
- When ready, release the steam, and dive into the meat with a fork and flake off a piece to ensure it is fork-tender.
TO FINISH:
- Add ¼ cup of freshly chopped cilantro, and the juice of 1 lime right into the pot and stir to combine.
- Serve with warm tortillas, over a bed of warm buttery rice or quinoa.
Notes
- This seasoning blend is for every 2 lb. of meat. If using more meat, adjust the seasonings accordingly.
- How long does this Mexican beef dish last? Store it in an air-tight container for up to three days.
