To make these Instant Pot Shredded Beef Tacos you will of course need an Instant Pot, lol! Or some other type of pressure cooker would work too. And, to me, the most important ingredient is the Taco Seasoning. I highly recommend my DIY Taco Seasoning. It is super easy to make and has nothing yucky in it! I make a quadruple batch and keep it in a big mason jar since I use it every week!
Yum!!! I mean look at that Shredded Beef!!!
Here’s the recipe, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!!
Instant Pot Shredded Beef Tacos
- [url href=”http://amzn.to/2ki8Uvh”]Instant Pot[/url]
- 2-3 lbs of chuck roast
- 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce
- 2 heaping TBSP of [url href=”https://smashedpeasandcarrots.com/diy-taco-seasoning-a-recipe/”]DIY Taco Seasoning[/url] or one Taco Seasoning Packet
- In a small bowl, mix the tomato seasoning and taco seasoning together.
- Place the chuck roast in the instant pot insert.
- Pour the seasoning mixture over top.
- Lock the lid, close valve, and set Instant Pot to Manual.
- Adjust time to 65 minutes.
- When time is up, carefully unlock the valve to release the steam.
- Unlock lid and shred the beef. It should be very tender!
- Enjoy!!!
The hardest part of this whole recipe is setting the time on the Instant Pot, really!!
First, add the chuck roast, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning to the insert of the Instant Pot. Lock the lid and close the valve located on the lid. Then press the “manual” button. Next press the “+” to adjust the time to 65 minutes. Once there, just leave the Instant Pot alone and in 5 or so seconds it will start!
In no time at all your Instant Pot will beep to let you know it is done cooking. Go ahead and carefully release the steam valve to let out all the steam, this is called a “Quick Release”. Shred the beef up with a couple forks and enjoy!
Seriously, so so good! If you don’t have an Instant Pot or you have one but would like to use the Slow Cook function, you can try my Crockpot Shredded Beef Tacos recipe!

Is this cooked from frozen or thawed beef? Thanks!
This is for thawed beef. To cook from frozen you will need to a add 10 minutes or so!
No liquid other than tomato sauce?
Nope! Just the tomato sauce!
I’m wondering if I can use stew meat for this? I’ve had success with it in other recipes (30 min manual, NPR)
You could certainly try! It will take much less time to cook and will shred into smaller pieces!
