Super easy prep. Set it and forget it.

Recipe
Ingredients:
Beef Roast - 2- 3 lb
Salt - enough for coating roast (4 tbsp)
Black Pepper - enough for coating roast (4 tbsp)
Beef Broth - 2-3 cups
Directions:
Set your Instant Pot to the Sauté setting.
Mix your salt and black pepper together and then use the mixture to coat all sides of the roast. Be generous! This will form a delicious crust when it’s seared.
Add 1 tbsp cooking oil to the Instant Pot and allow to get HOT.
Place your roast into the Instant Pot and sear for one minute on each side. Remove from heat and place off to the side.
Next, we deglaze the pan! Keep the Instant Pot Sauté setting on and add one cup of your beef broth to it. Use a whisk or spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan, getting all the brown bits off the bottom of the pan and incorporated into the broth.
Place the roast back into the Instant Pot and cover.
Cook for approximately 1.5 hour per pound of roast.
Once done, shred the beef using forks or meat claw tools.
Notes
*I used an Instant Pot for this particular meal. You could easily use a skillet/frying pan for the searing portion and then a slow cooker for the rest.
*I actually had this go ALLLLL night in the slow cooker. Mostly because I didn’t get it going until about 7PM. It was amazing by morning. Like…my-toddler-and-I-had-two-helpings-for-breakfast level of amazing.
