Instant Pot Barbacoa Beef

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup beer or water

• 4 cloves garlic

• 2 chipotles in adobo sauce

• 1 small white onion, peeled and roughly chopped

• 1 4 oz can chopped green chiles

• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

• 2 tablespoons ground cumin

• 1 tablespoon dried oregano

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 Forever Vos Farms chuck roast, cut into 2 inch chunks

• 3 bay leaves

Directions

1. Combine beer, garlic, chipotles, onion, green chiles, lime juice, cumin oregano, salt, pepper, and cloves in a blender or food processor. Puree for 30 seconds, or until smooth. Set aside.

2. Press the “Saute” setting on the instant pot. Add oil. Then once it is heated and simmering, add the roast and sear—turning every 45-60 seconds or so—until the roast is browned on all sides. Press “Cancel” to turn off the heat.

3. Add the bay leaves and pureed sauce, and briefly toss everything until the roasts is evenly coated in the sauce. Close lid securely and set vent to “Sealing”. 

4. Cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Quick release vent. 

5. Remove the lid, and discard the bay leaves.  Using 2 forks, shred the beef.
