Equipment

Ingredients
  

Spice Rub:

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Broth mixture

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Other ingredients

  • 2.5 pounds chuck roast
  • 1 onion peeled and quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 jalapeños cut in half and seeds removed
  • 12 tortillas I used Mission Carb Balance

Instructions
 

  • Combine the spices to make a rub. Rub the spices on each side of the beef.
  • Turn the sauté function on. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter to the Instant Pot. Place the spice rubbed beef in the pot and sear on each side until browned.
  • Turn the sauté function off. Add the onion, garlic and jalapeño. Lastly, add the beef broth mixture.
  • Seal the pressure cooker and cook 15 minutes per pound. Once the pressure cooking cycle has ended allow the machine to naturally release 10 minutes.
  • Shred the beef and discard the garlic, onion and jalalpenos. Drizzle the beef with the remaining sauce if desired.

Notes

Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Taco Instructions

Rub beef with spice rub and sear all sides in a skillet on the stove.* Transfer to slow cooker, then add onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Pour in broth mixture and cook for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
*Searing step is optional, but it adds a lot of flavor and a good texture.
