Make super juicy and delicious shredded beef in a fraction of the time using an instant pot. This instant pot shredded beef recipe is my go-to for tender and flavorful beef for busy weeknight dinners!
Turn instant pot to saute mode and add some olive oil.
When warmed, add the beef and brown it on both sides.
Pour in the broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze.
Set the instant pot on high pressure and cook for 50 minutes.
When ready, let the instant pot naturally release for 10 minutes.
Then quick release by turning the knob to the venting position.
Take the beef out, place it on a cutting board, and shred it with two forks.
Return the meat to the instant pot and add cilantro or parsley (or your favorite herbs).
Keep warm until ready to serve.

After browning the beef, it's important to deglaze your instant pot to prevent the 'burn' notice from popping up. This is done by scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
If you're using store-bought beef broth, make sure to get the low-sodium broth. You don't want the dish to turn out salty.
The shredded beef sauce can be adjusted. Add some water to it if it's too thick. If it turns out too watery, set it to 'saute mode' while the instant pot is open to reduce some liquid.
