Electric Pressure Cooker Taco Beef

Taking a whole beef roast and turning it into a family-friendly dinner in no time is what this Electric Pressure Cooker Taco Beef recipe is all about.

Barbara’s family loves tacos…any kind of tacos. And, she always has plenty of beef roasts in the freezer from our cattle. You could also use a shoulder or arm roast for this recipe. Unsure about the different cuts of beef? Check out this post from our friend Sarah over at Farmwife Crafts.

But if you don’t have a freezer full of beef, keep your eyes out for good deals on beef roasts and stock up – this taco beef recipe is worth it!

Barbara doesn’t have an Instant Pot but she does have an electric pressure cooker which works similarly.

Electric Pressure Cooker Taco Beef

What we love about this recipe is that we can serve it in tacos for dinner one night and then serve it over rice another night for two different meals!

This taco beef would also be great as a substitute for the ground beef on our Taco Salad with Homemade Dressing or our Flank Steak Salad.
