# Steps:
01 -
Combine cumin, chili powders, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the blend over each side of the beef chunks. Press lightly to stick the mixture on them.
02 -
Using your pressure cooker’s sauté mode, warm up the oil for a few minutes. Once ready, put in the seasoned beef chunks and cook all sides until browned.
03 -
Lay the chopped onion, jalapeño (if you want a little heat), and garlic over the beef. Pour in the tomato can, salsa verde, and broth, then stir it all just a bit.
04 -
Close and lock the pressure cooker lid. Set the valve to seal and cook on high for 40 minutes.
05 -
After cooking, let it sit for 10 minutes for a natural pressure release. Then, do a quick release for any pressure left.
06 -
Take out the beef chunks and shred them with two forks. Remove any fat floating on the cooking broth, then add all the shredded meat back in. Heat it up together.
07 -
Grab some tortillas, and use tongs to fill them up with the meat. Top it off however you like—cheese, guac, sour cream, salsa, or a bit of fresh cilantro.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Letting the pressure drop naturally for 10 minutes makes the flavors better before the quick release.
02 -
The shredded meat works great for tacos, bowls with rice or cauliflower rice, or even taquitos.
