4.27 from 15 votes
Easy Barbacoa Beef made in the pressure cooker is incredibly tender and flavorful!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 lb beef chuck roast
  • 2/3 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 3 Tbsp cider vinegar
  • 3 chipotle chilis in adobo sauce
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1.5 tsp sea salt to taste

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.
