Instant Pot Barbacoa Beef

"Instant Pot barbacoa is juicy and full of flavor, and has all the elements of traditional barbacoa, which is cooked in an underground pit, but with a much simpler preparation. Our Instant Pot barbacoa beef converts a very traditional barbacoa recipe to the Instant Pot with great results! In a very short time you can be gorging on juicy and delicious beef barbacoa tacos. At first glance, the word barbacoa might just seem like a translation of “barbecue”. In fact the word does have the same origin, from the Caribbean, as our familiar grilling process. Mexican barbacoa, however, is cooked in a very different style. Instead of meat grilled over an open flame, barbacoa is a slow-cooked/steamed dish.

NotesReserve the simmering juice for storing leftovers, or reduce and add as a spicy sauce for the tacos.
