Use it for tacos, bowls, enchiladas or any kind of dish. It’s made with clean ingredients so it’s Keto and Whole30 too!

A Little Bit Of Prep Work

In the recipe below, we give you cooking instructions for both the Instant Pot and a Slow Cooker. Either way there is a little bit of prep work to do. We like to cut our beef into cubes and then brown the outsides in either our Instant Pot or quickly on the stove in a cast iron pan. Of course, it is nice if you have an Instant Pot because you can do this step in your Instant Pot and then have no extra dishes to clean up. Either way, it helps to lock in the juices and keep this beef barbacoa tender and moist once shredded! Don’t worry this little bit of effort is way worth it!

All About The Flavor

There is something real special about the flavors in this beef barbacoa! It’s a little smoky, with some spice and a hint of citrus. It’s just the right amount of all the things to make you crave it over and over again! You just mix all the juice and seasonings together and then pour the mixture over the beef, onions and garlic. Let your Instant Pot or Slow Cooker do all the hard work melding the flavors together and soaking them into the beef. It is really a tasty combo!

Versatile Meal Prep Recipe
