Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut the beef into thick steaks or large chunks. Season well on all sides.
  • Heat up the olive oil on SAUTE setting in your Instant Pot, and sear the beef until it's browned on all sides.
  • Add the beef broth to the Instant Pot, and turn off the SAUTE mode. Use a wooden spoon to loosen up any stuck pieces of meat at the bottom of the pot.
  • Seal the lid, and turn on PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL setting, and cook at high pressure for 45 minutes.
  • Allow the pressure to release manually for at least 5 minutes, then perform a quick release according to the manifacturer's instructions.
  • Use two forks to pull the beef apart. Optionally you can drain off the cooking liquid, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.
  • This recipe has only been tested with a 6 qt Instant Pot.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your preferences.
  • Add sauce: Make a sauce by thickening the cooking liquid after the beef is cooked. Combine 1 teaspoon or water and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in a small bowl, and add to the liquid in the Instant Pot. Simmer on SAUTE setting for a few minutes while stirring. The sauce will thicken quickly.
