The Recipe Goes First

Barbacoa

1. Cut roast into 4 pieces – salt generously. Arrange in instant pot.
2. Pour all ingredients over roast in instant pot.
3. Secure lid and cook on manual for 60 minutes.
4. Let warm for 30 before releasing pressure.
5. Remove beef from juices and place in a a bowl. Shred the beef with two forks. Using the sautee function on the instant pot cook down liquid mixture by half. Scoop shredded beef into remaining mixture until ready to serve.
6. For crispy pieces cook in skillet (on stove) or in a pan (broiler).

Tacos, burritos, eggs, salad, a piece of white bread – this is what you want to eat.

• Some people brown the meat before they use a slow cooker/pressure cooker – and if that’s what you want to do – do it.
