Notes
If you don't have any shredded beef on hand, here's a quick recipe that I've used:
- Season a 3-pound chuck roast with garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Place the seasoned roast in an InstantPot with 1.5 cups of water. Cook on high pressure for 90 minutes, then perform a natural release.
- After cooling, remove excess fat and shred the beef.
