What You Need:
- Beef Chuck Roast – I get mine from ButcherBox
- Avocado Oil
- Onion
- Garlic
- Salt
- Pepper
- Chili Powder
- Garlic Powder
- Chipotle Powder
- Cumin
- Tomato Paste
- Beef Broth
- Lime Juice
- Orange Juice
- Instant Pot

Let’s Cook:
- The first step is to make the spice mixture for the beef. This includes salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and chipotle powder. Mix these together in a small bowl.

- Then you will pat the beef dry with a paper towel, cut in half and spread the spice mixture all over both halves (on all sides). Heat the oil in the Instant Pot in sauté mode. Once it is nice and hot brown the beef on all sides in the oil. Turn off sauté mode.


- Add in the chopped onion, minced garlic, tomato paste, beef broth, lime and orange juice. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn valve to seal.

- Set time for 90 minutes. Once the timer goes off, hit the cancel button and let naturally release. This can take about 30-45 minutes. Then remove the lid, shred the beef and leave in the juices.
- Serve over cilantro lime cauliflower rice with Pico de Gallo.

Tried this recipe?Mention @thebetteredblondie
This was an absolute hit! So flavorful and so easy to make. This will be in my regular rotation, Whole30 or not. My husband and my teenage boys loved it too!
Great, super easy recipe ! Thanks.
This recipe was a hit!!! It was so tender and juicy and flavourful! This could feed a whole family plus lots leftover for the next day. For a newbie instantpot user I was a little nervous leaving it pressure cook for so long but it came out absolutely perfect and just fell apart. So simple and delicious 😊
