Ingredients

Instructions

  • Blend the beef broth, lime juice, cider vinegar, chilis, cumin, oregano, and sea salt in a small blender and set aside.
  • Cut the beef roast into 4-6 large chunks.
  • Press the Saute button on the Instant Pot and add the oil. Once hot, carefully place the chunks of meat on the surface. Brown 2 minutes per side.
  • Pour the adobo sauce over the browned meat and secure the lid on the Instant Pot. Pressure cook on high for 60 minutes.
  • When the pot has finished its cycle and beeps, allow the pressure to naturally release. 
  • Remove lid and transfer the chunks of beef to a cutting board. Use 2 forks to shred the beef and place the meat back in the pot. Stir well and allow beef to sit 15 minutes or longer to absorb the juices. 
  • Serve barbacoa beef in tacos, burritos, or bowls.
