Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:1 hour
Simmer Time:10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 pound beef chuck roast cut into 1-2 inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce diced
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Chipotle Sauce In Your Pressure Cooker:

  • Combine the beef broth, chipotle peppers, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in your Instant Pot.

Cook the Chuck Roast:

  • Place the chunks of beef into the Instant Pot, ensuring all of the pieces are coated with the barbacoa sauce.
  • Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to "Manual" mode on high pressure for 60 minutes. The beef should become incredibly tender and easy to shred.
  • At the end of the cooking time, perform a quick release.

Shred the Beef:

  • Once cooked, remove the barbacoa meat from the Instant Pot and shred it using two forks. The meat should fall apart effortlessly.

Simmer the Sauce:

  • Return the shredded beef to the Instant Pot and let it marinate in the sauce for an additional 10-15 minutes. This step allows the beef to soak up all those delicious flavors.
