Ingredients

  • 20 oz beef chuck sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic chopped
  • 2 oz onion chopped
  • 1/4 cup tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp brown gravy mix
  • 1 fl oz red wine
  • 1/2 tsp unsalted chili powder
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped
  • 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
  • 3 cups cooked medium-grain rice
  • 2 oz romaine lettuce chopped
  • 4 oz avocado sliced

Instructions

  • In the ‘sauté’ mode, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Add 1 tbsp garlic, 1/4 cup tomatoes, 2 oz onion and stir-fry until translucent and fragrant, about 1 minute.
    Step 1: Stir-fry the onion, garlic and tomatoes.
  • Add 20 oz beef chuck. Stir and sear all sides for 1 minute.
    Step 2: Sear the beef.
  • Season the beef with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp gravy mix, 1 fl oz red wine, and 1/2 tsp chili powder and stir-fry for another 3 minutes.
    Step 3: Season the beef.
  • Slowly pour 1/4 cup orange juice and 1/2 cup chicken broth into the pot. Secure the lid. Set it to ‘stew meat’ mode for 35 minutes.
    Step 4: Add the juice and broth to the pot. Cook in ‘stew meat’ mode.
  • Allow the pressure to release naturally. Open the lid and transfer the stewed beef to a plate. Use forks to shred the meat.
    Step 5: Shred the beef.
  • Return the beef to the gravy mixture in the pot and cook until the sauce reduces to your desired consistency, (usually about 2 minutes).
    Step 6: Toss back into the sauce.
  • Garnish with 2 tbsp parsley and 2 tbsp coriander.
    Step 7: Garnish.
  • Serve warm over steamed rice with 4 oz sliced avocado and 2 oz romain.
    Step 8: Serve over steamed rice.
