Electric Pressure Cooker Beef Barbacoa Tacos Recipes

PRESSURE COOKER BARBACOA

Steps:

• Add oil to the bottom of the pressure cooker and heat with lid off.
• Rub meat with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, cover, and cook at pressure for 50 minutes.
• Allow natural release (will take 15-20 minutes).
• Shred meat and eat in tacos, burritos, scrambled eggs, etc! I drain the meat, my wife prefers it left in the juice. Your preference.

INSTANT POT BEEF BARBACOA TACOS

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, lime juice, garlic, chipotle, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and cloves in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Press Sauté and use the Sauté or Adjust button to select the highest temperature ("More"). Place the vegetable oil in the inner pot. Wait until the display reads "Hot," about 5 minutes, then add the beef. Cook with the lid off, turning the beef every 2 minutes, until the beef is browned on most sides, about 8 minutes.
• Add the vinegar sauce and the chicken broth (be careful-steam may whoosh up!), and then the bay leaves. Stir to combine.
• Close and lock the lid. Set the valve to Sealing. Press Cancel, then press Manual or Pressure Cook and use the Pressure or Pressure Level button to select High Pressure. Use the - or + button to set the time to 30 minutes.
• When the cooking cycle ends, press Cancel. Allow the appliance to cool and release pressure naturally, about 20 minutes. (The pressure is released when the small metal float valve next to the pressure-release valve sinks back into the lid and the lid is no longer locked.)
• Remove the lid. Discard the bay leaves. Use tongs or a large spoon to remove the beef from the inner pot and place it on a cutting board. Shred the beef using two forks: Use one fork to pull off a chunk and then use two forks to shred that piece, holding down the meat with one fork and pulling at it with the other. Repeat with the remaining beef.
• Serve the beef hot, piled into corn tortillas and topped with salsa and a sprinkling of Cotija cheese, if desired.

Steps:

• Cut the beef into 6-8 large chunks. Season all over with pepper and salt.

• In a medium bowl, combine the chipotles, garlic, cumin, oregano, cloves, salt, pepper, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and lime juice. Mix well.
• Pour the marinade over the beef in the slow cooker and add the bay leaves. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until the meat can be shredded easily.
• Remove and discard the bay leaves. Remove and shred the beef, then return to the slow cooker to marinate in the sauce for at least 10 more minutes, or until ready to serve.
• To serve, add the shredded beef to your choice of tortillas with your favorite toppings.
• Enjoy!
