Instructions:

  1. Cut the beef chuck roast into large chunks and season with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, and paprika.
  2. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode and heat vegetable oil. Add diced onion, cooking until translucent (3-4 minutes). Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Add seasoned beef chunks to the pot in batches to brown on all sides (about 5-6 minutes).
