Ingredients

  • 3-4 lb boneless chuck roast, cut into 4 pieces
  • 2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups beef bone broth

Instructions

  • Season the chuck roast with salt on all sides. Set Instant Pot to "sauté" setting and add olive oil. Add the roast and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Press "cancel" to turn off.
  • Add the bone broth over the beef. Close lid and turn vent to "sealing." Set Instant Pot to "manual" on high pressure and set for 50 minutes. Allow it to naturally release.
  • Once done, shred the meet with two forks.

Notes

  • Searing the beef is important as it locks in the flavor.
  • Trim some of the excess fat so the beef isn't too greasy.
  • If you want a thick sauce with the beef, add the shredded beef back to the Instant Pot and set to "sauté" until it thickens.
  • If the beef isn't tender enough for you, cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Use the leftover juice to make a beef gravy.
