Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Cut chuck roast into large chunks. Add oil to beef and toss to coat. Season chuck roast with all the spices and salt, stir to coat.

2. 2

   Pour water into Instant Pot or slow cooker, then add seasoned chuck roast, and halved onion with the cut side up. (This makes it easier to remove after cooking).

3. 3

   Instant Pot- High Pressure and see times based on the weight of beef.3 pounds- 65 min4 pounds- 70 min5 pounds- 75 min. Once the timer is done, carefully (I use a kitchen towel) release the valve to venting. Or wait 10 minutes for pressure to release naturally, then move the valve to venting.

4. 4

   Slow Cooker- Cook on Low for 8-10 hours.

5. 5

   Once the beef is cooked, removed the onion, add vinegar or lime juice, then shred the meat with 2 forks in the pot with the juices. Taste and see if additional salt is needed. You can discard the onion or chop it up finely and mix into the meat.
