Instant Pot Beef Barbacoa

Ingredients

• 3 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into large chunks
• 3 chipotles in adobo, plus 2 tbsp sauce
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/3 cup lime juice
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1 cup beef stock
• 2 bay leaves

Instructions

1. 1

   Blend the chipotles, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, cumin, oregano, and cloves into a smooth paste with a splash of the stock.

2. 2

   Sear the beef chunks in the pot on saute mode until browned on two sides, working in batches so the pan stays hot.

3. 3

   Add the remaining stock, the chile paste, and the bay leaves, then pressure cook on high for sixty minutes.

4. 4

   Let the pressure release naturally for fifteen minutes, then shred the beef directly in the cooking liquid.

5. 5

   Spread the shredded meat on a sheet pan, spoon over some juices, and broil for five minutes so the edges crisp.
