Beef Carnitas in Instant Pot

Image
  A must try!  It is so delicious that you would like to eat beef carnitas every week :) I like my food a little spicy so I use 3 jalapenos and 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. If you don't like it spicy, I would recommend using 1 jalapeno and 1 chipotle pepper. Ingredients:  Mix all spices together: 2 tbsp. salt 2 tbsp. brown sugar 1 tbsp. ground cumin 1 tbsp. smoked paprika 1 tbsp. chili powder 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. ground mustard 1 tsp. dried oregano 1 tsp. cayenne pepper 3 lbs. boneless beef chuck roast, cut in large cubes 2 large sweet onions thinly sliced 2 or 3 jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced 2 or 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped 1 jar (16 oz) medium or hot salsa tortillas toppings (optional) Preparation:  1) Rub the roast with the spice mixture (I use about 1/3 (1/2) of the mixture, I keep the remaining spice mix for next time) 2) Select sauté on the pressure cooker and adjust for high heat. Add 3 tbsp. oil and brown the meat on all sides.
