Instructions

Set Instant Pot on Sauté.
Toss the beef chunks with about 2 Tbsp of avocado oil, then sprinkle the seasoning and toss the beef chunks right on the cutting board or in a bowl.
Once instant pot hot, add about half the beef chunks, fat side down to the pot.
Brown beef about 1-2 mins per side and then remove from pot.
Repeat with the remaining beef.
Once all of the beef is browned and removed from the pot, add the broth and deglaze the pot, being sure to scrape up all the browned bits with a wooden spoon.
Add all of the beef back to the Instant Pot, cover and set pot to High Pressure for 30 mins.
After the time is up, let the pot natural release for 15 mins and then fully pressure release the rest of the pressure in the pot before opening it.
Lastly, transfer the beef to a bowl with a slotted spoon and let it rest and cool a few minutes.
Use 2 forks or shredding claws to shred the beef. If you want the meat juicier, just add in some of your au jus to the shredded beef.

Notes

Be sure to store any unused shredded beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 5 days. Make it for tacos and then enjoy it for a protein salad or beef bowl the next day!
