Whole30 + Keto Instant Pot Barbacoa

chipotle peppers

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: canned jalapeños

Smoked paprika provides a similar smoky flavor without the heat.

beef chuck roast

🥗Healthier: pork shoulder

💰Cheaper: beef brisket

Pork shoulder is often less expensive and has a similar texture.

Cut the boneless chuck roast into two-inch chunks to help the marinade flavor the beef better.

Prepare the marinade by blending together yellow onion, tomato paste, diced green chilies, garlic, chipotle powder, salt, and cumin with homemade bone broth.

Pour the marinade over the beef chunks in the Instant Pot and stir to combine.

Add three bay leaves to the pot.

Seal the Instant Pot lid ensuring it's set to sealing, not venting.

Cook on high pressure for one hour.

After cooking, shred the beef in the pot with a fork until it's juicy and tender.

Serve the barbacoa with sheet pan fajita veggies, frozen cauliflower rice, homemade guacamole, and homemade salsa.
