This Instant Pot Shredded Beef is easy, flavorful and extremely versatile. You only need beef, broth and seasonings to have this ready on a busy weeknight. Serve in tacos, on salads, in quesadillas or in a sandwich and use the sauce as a delicious dip.
Turn the instant pot on sauté. Trim the fat off your beef and cut into 2 inch chunks and place in a bowl. Add 1 tbsp. of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, chili powder and lime juice to the bowl and mix together well to combine.
Add the second 1 tbsp. olive oil to the instant pot and sauté the beef on all sides until slightly browned but not cooked.
Add the beef broth to the pot, cover with the lid and seal the release valve. Pressure cook for 30 minutes.
Let the beef slow release for 20 minutes before quick releasing. Once done you can either shred the beef directly in the pot or remove the beef with a slotted spoon, shred and return.
To slightly thicken the sauce mix the tapioca flour with water and add to the pot. Mix well to combine. Lastly, add (optional) a handful of chopped cilantro.
Serve in tacos, sandwiches, on salads or as is.
Notes
All nutrition facts are an estimate.
You can use cornstarch to thicken if you don't have tapioca flour.
Rolling the lime around on the counter before cutting into it will help release the juices.
