Ingredients
- 3 lb beef chuck roast
- pink salt
- cracked black pepper
- 1/4 cup Mexican seasoning blend
- 3/4 cup beef bone broth
- 2 limes zested and juiced
- 1 tsp xanthan gum optional to thicken the sauce
Instructions
- Remove the chuck roast from the refrigerator. Pat dry and season it with salt and pepper. Place the roast on a plate or cutting board and allow it to come to room temperature, about an hour.
- Turn your Instant Pot to saute and, once it comes to temperature, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil or avocado oil.
- Sear the chuck roast for 3 to 4 minutes on all sides.
- Sprinkle in the seasoning blend and add the broth (or water), lime zest, and lime juice.
- Lock the lid into place and make sure the steam release valve is turned to the sealed position.
- Press the pressure cook button, or manual button, and set the timer for 60 minutes.
- When the cook is done allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then turn the steam release valve to vent to release the remaining pressure.
- Carefully remove the roast to a cutting board and shred the meat with these shredders, or two forks.
- Turn the Instant Pot to saute and, once the remaining broth comes to a boil, sprinkle in the xanthan gum and whisk well. Continue to whisk until the broth gets to your desired thickness.
- Turn off the Instant Pot and add the shredded beef back into the pot, stir to combine with the thickened broth.
