Ingredients
2 pounds Certified Angus Beef ® top round, cut into 2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup water
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
8 pack of buns
2 cups coleslaw (optional)
Instructions
1. Season Beef: In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sugar, and pepper. Season the top round cubes with the spice rub; set aside.
2. Sauté Onions: Heat the oil in the Instant Pot set to Sauté mode at medium heat. Add the diced onions to the pot and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sauté until onions soften, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook Beef: Stir water into the pot with the onions, then add the spiced top round cubes in an even layer. 3. Spread tomato paste evenly on top.
4. Pressure Cook: Lock the lid, set on “Pressure Cook” at high pressure for 30 minutes. Let the pressure come down naturally, about 20 more minutes.
5. Shred Beef: Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to avoid the hot steam. With a slotted spoon, scoop the beef cubes to a casserole dish and shred with a pair of forks.
6. Make Sauce: Ladle sauce from the pot onto the shredded beef until it is just sloppy enough, about 1 cup.
7. Serve the shredded beef on buns with coleslaw, if desired.
Notes
Avoid Over-Saucing: Add the sauce gradually to the shredded beef to avoid making it too sloppy.
Pairing Suggestion: Serve with coleslaw on the side or as a topping for added crunch and flavor.
