Step 1 of 10
Venezuelan Shredded Beef
Season the beef with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Chop 1 onion into 4 large wedges. Place the beef in the pressure cooker with the onion wedges and all the beef stock.
Step 3
Pressure cook for 20 minutes.
Step 4
Release the pressure and open the lid. Remove the beef and reserve 2 cups of the cooking stock in a separate container.
Step 5
Using 2 forks, shred the beef. It should be tender enough to shred easily. If not, return to the cooker for another 10 minutes.
Step 6
Press the sauté button on the Instant Pot and add the olive oil.
Step 7
When the pot signals it is hot, add the sliced onion, red pepper, and tomatoes. Cook until softened and the onions are golden.
Step 8
Add the shredded beef back into the pot and stir to combine.
Step 9
Pour in 1½ cups of the reserved stock, then add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree, ketchup, and cumin. Stir well.
Step 10
If the sauce seems too dry, add a little more reserved stock. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
