Instant Pot Barbacoa Beef

Step 1

Cut the roast into 4-6 large chunks, removing any large pieces of fat.

Step 2

Press saute on the Instant Pot and add the vegetable oil. Add half of the roast chunks.  Brown completely on each side. Remove to a plate and brown the second half of the meat. Remove from the Instant Pot.

Step 3

With the Instant Pot still on saute, add the onion and cook until it starts to become translucent, about 3 minutes.  Add the garlic, cumin and oregano and cook an additional minute.  Pour in the broth, chipotle chiles, lime juice, cider vinegar, salt, pepper, cloves and bay leaves. Stir to combine, then add the roast back into the Instant Pot.

Step 4

Place the lid on the Instant Pot and lock. Select high pressure and 60 minutes.

Step 5

When the pot beeps, allow the pressure to naturally release.  Once the pin has dropped, remove the lid and, using a set of tongs, remove the meat from the instant pot to a cutting board. Use 2 forks to shred the beef.  Once shredded, return to the Instant Pot and stir to coat the meat in the leftover juices.

Step 6

Serve in tacos, burritos, bowls, or whatever your heart desires!
