Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a high-speed blender combine the chipotle peppers, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, beef broth, garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, and honey. Blend until smooth and set aside.
  • Set the Instant Pot onto sauté mode. While it heats, season the pieces of chuck roast with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Add the oil to the heated instant pot. Working in batches, brown the chuck roast for about 4 minutes per side until browned. You should be able to brown about 3-4 pieces at a time.
  • Once all of the meat is browned, add it back to the Instant Pot along with the marinade made in the blender. Stir.
  • Place the lid on the IP and cook on high pressure for 1 hour 20 minutes, then allow natural/slow release for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and shred the meat with 2 forks then toss with the sauce. Serve as desired and enjoy!
