Easy Instant Pot Shredded Beef

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 3 pound boneless chuck roast
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 cup beef stock
• Several slices of yellow onion

Instructions

• 1 Stir together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked
  paprika. Sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides of the chuck roast and cut the
  roast into four even pieces.
• 2 Add the canola oil to the Instant Pot and turn the unit to Sauté. When the oil
  is hot, add two pieces of the chuck roast to the pot and cook on both sides to
  brown, about two to three minutes per side. Repeat with the other two pieces.
• 3 Remove the chuck roast pieces, pour in the beef stock and use a sturdy wooden
  spoon to scrape up any little meat bits on the bottom of the pot.
• 4 Place the chuck roast back in the Instant Pot and spread onion slices on top.
  Hit the Cancel button to reset the Instant Pot, seal the unit and cook on the
  Manual setting for 50 minutes.
• 5 After pressure cooking, let the Instant Pot naturally release for 15 minutes and
  then flip the valve open to release the remaining pressure. Most of the pressure
  should have released naturally after the initial 15 minutes. Move the meat to a
  large cutting board and use two forks to shred the beef. Discard any pieces of
  fat. Enjoy!
