Ingredients

• 3 lb. beef chuck roast
• 6 oz. can tomato paste
• 2 Tbs. yellow mustard
• 2 Tbs. dry minced onion
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. Real Salt
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
• water

Directions

• For added flavor, brown the roast first. (Totally optional, will add 10-15 minutes to the recipe.) Press Saute on the Instant Pot. When the display reads Hot, add a Tbs. of cooking oil (coconut oil is a good choice) and let the roast sizzle a few minutes on each side. If you dont brown the roast, simply place it in the bottom of the IP.
• In a 2-cup measuring cup, mix the tomato paste, mustard, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper and ACV.
• Add water to reach 2 cups total, stir, and pour over the roast.
• Check the sealing ring and lock the Instant Pot, turning the valve to sealing.
• Press Meat/Stew and use the + or Adjust button to increase the timing to 60 minutes.
• It will take about 15 minutes for the unit to get up to pressure and start the countdown timer.
• When the cycle is finished and the IP beeps, allow 10-15 minutes for a natural pressure release (in other words, ignore it for a while). If youre in a real hurry, the meat will be cooked and just not quite as tender if you open the lid immediately after the cycle ends.
• Open the valve to venting to release any remaining steam, twist off the lid, and use two forks to shred the beef. You can do this in the pot or on a separate plate. Sometimes it will be falling apart so much you just have to stir it up with a spoon and it shreds itself. 😉
• If you have the time, return the meat to the Instant Pot and put the lid back on for a bit while its still on warm to allow the meat to soak up more juices.
• Serve hot.
• Optional: Use the juices to make seasoned rice! (see below for instructions)
• Optional: If youd rather have thick sauce over your beef, add a tablespoon or two of arrowroot starch to the juices while the shredded meat is in there. Press cancel and then saute and stir around for few minutes until thickened.
