Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot or pressure cooker
Ingredients
- 750 g beef chuck roast or similar
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 125 ml water
Instructions
- Fry the beef either directly in the Instant Pot or on a skillet until browned on all sides.
- Place all of the ingredients in the Instant Pot, close the Instant Pot with the lid and make sure the valve is turned to pressure cook.
- Pressure cook for 1h and allow to release naturally.
- Remove the meat from the Instant Pot and shred using two forks.
- Serve on tortillas for easy tacos, or over rice for a taco bowl.
Notes
- The juices from the meat can be used as a sauce if serving over rice but if serving on tortillas, it is best to drain most of the liquid.
- This recipe can be made in a traditional pressure cooker, following the same instructions. The cooking time is 1hr once it has come up to pressure.
