My go-to dinner when I’m serving a crowd is almost always tacos. And this Beef Barbacoa recipe is easiest way to get delicious, hearty, taco meat on the table. It’s easy to throw together, affordable, and everybody loves it. You can make it in either the slow cooker or Instant Pot. This barbacao meat also works great for meal prep for a variety of meals. Serve over a bed of lettuce for a taco salad, or over rice with some veggies for a taco bowl.

  1. In a small bowl whisk together the spices and then rub them all over beef.
  2. Sear the meat on all sides.
  3. Add in the remaining ingredients to make the sauce and cook on high pressure for 50 minutes with a natural release.
  4. Once done, shred with two forks and serve as desired.

How to Make Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa:

How to Make Barbacoa Meat on the Stove Top or Oven:

Don’t have an Instant Pot or Slow Cooker? You can still make this barbacao recipe, using the same idea of cooking this low and slow. On the stove top, use a dutch oven and follow the same directions to sear the meat on all sides. Then, add all your ingredients, cover and cook on low on the stove until the meat is tender and falling apart, about 3-4 hours.

For the oven, sear the meat in a dutch oven. Once you’ve added all the ingredients, place in a preheated 300ºF for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling apart.

So if you don’t want to do the extra step of making your own cauliflower rice, feel free to use premade!

    Slow-Cooker Beef Stew

    Posted on by Lexi , Views: 123421
    Slow Cooker Beef Stew [paleo-friendly, grain-free, dairy-free] | Lexi's Clean Kitchen

    This Slow-Cooker Beef Stew is the perfect healthy comfort food for cold days! It’s hearty, flavorful, packed with veggies, and easy to make right in your crock pot. Make it for a cold winter night, or a festive St. Patrick’s Day meal! Beef stew is a simple recipe that will wow everyone who tries it.

    Traditional Beef Stew Recipe

    The Slow Cooker is an amazing phenomenon in my opinion. Even those friends of mine who aren’t big cookers use it! Throw all the ingredients in with the right flavor combo and BOOM: the perfect stew. It’s hands off, easy to use, and safe!

    What is Irish stew made of?

    Filled with beef, carrots, mushrooms, onions, and potatoes is the perfect main dish for your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The beef is so tender, it just melts in your mouth!

    Tips For Slow Cooker Beef Stew

    • Brown your meat
    • Don’t use too much liquid
    • Don’t skimp on the cook time
    • Layer your beef and veggies
    • Set it and forget it! The beauty of a slow cooker!

    Ultimate Slow Cooker Beef Stew

    This stew is: hearty, flavorful, tender melt-in-your-mouth beef, and packed with veggies! It is also paleo-friendly, dairy-free, whole30 compliant and has no sugar added… does it get any better than that? I love making this soup at the beginning of the week and enjoy it all week long!

    What defines a stew?

    • In a stew you aren’t looking for the consistency of a soup, so minimizing added liquids is helpful!
    • Beef stew doesn’t need to be super, super thick. You’ll most likely be using potatoes, and their starch will naturally thicken your stew! If not, don’t worry, this stew thickens whithout it, too.

    What kind of beef is used for stew?

    You can buy beef stew meat, which is cut and cubed and is generally chuck or round! Beef round cuts (bottom and eye) are generally leaner than chuck (shoulder, leg and butt) and very well-suited to stew.

    I always add beef stew meat to my ButcherBox order in the cold weather months. Each month, ButcherBox  curates a one-of-a-kind selection of the healthiest, tastiest meats, humanely raised and free of antibiotics and hormones. Or you can customize your box and select your favorite cuts and get 20% more meat.The price works out to less than $6.00/meal and shipping is always free. You can also space it out so it’s not every 4 weeks, too! ButcherBox delivers your meat for the month, saves you money, and is the best quality! Order Today and get this amazing deal:

    • Get FREE bacon
    • FREE Shipping
    • $15 OFF!

    Can you put raw meat in a slow cooker?

    You certainly can, but for this beef stew recipe, we prefer to sear the meat first to bring out the amazing flavor that you’ll get!

    Easy Beef Stew

    Tools used to make this easy slow cooker beef stew recipe:

    • Slow Cooker: Inexpensive and works great. I’ve had mine for years!
    • Cast Iron Skillet: I like a nice, hot cast iron skillet to sear our stew meat!
    • Chef’s Knife: My go-to chef’s knife. Use whatever you have on hand!
    • Tongs: To easily flip the meat while searing.
    • Cutting Board: A good cutting board, of course! To chop all those veggies!

    Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff

    Posted on by Lexi's Clean Kitchen , Views: 21527

    This Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff recipe is an easy weeknight dinner win! This classic American dish comes together quick, with minimal prep and mostly hands-off cooking thanks to the Instant Pot. It’s made using REAL ingredients and is so hearty! It’s paleo and Whole30 friendly (if served without noodles), dairy and gluten free and a delicious meal the whole family will love!

    Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff

    Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff

    Honestly I’d never tried beef stroganoff before making this recipe, but I’m glad I finally did because it’s such a delicious and easy dinner! It’s one of the most popular google dinner searches, so we knew it was time to make a cleaned up version that didn’t require any canned soup or junky ingredients. Our version here is dairy-free (made creamy with coconut cream) and option to serve it with gluten-free noodles or over zoodles (we recommend sweet potato, butternut squash or carrot zoodles).

    We love the rich and hearty flavor to the sauce! We use paprika, mustard and tomato paste to add a depth and umami flavor to the sauce, that is then thickened up with a bit of arrowroot and rounded out with our non-dairy choice of coconut cream. You can’t taste the coconut in it either!

    Our choice for beef was to use a sirloin steak, but if you can’t find that some other options would be a chuck roast or top round. Just make sure to slice it thinly!

    Instant pot beef stroganoff paleo

    How do you make beef stroganoff in the Instant Pot?

    We opted to make this Beef Stroganoff in the Instant Pot because it makes for really tender meat thanks to the pressure cooker and largely hands-off cooking after you’ve sauteed the aromatics and built up the flavor. So while the recipes says it takes about an hour to make, most of this time it is hands-off cooking so you can be getting other tasks done while dinner is cooking.

    To make in the Instant Pot:

    1. Saute your aromatics (we use mushrooms, onions and garlic) and beef
    2. Add your base flavors in (we use paprika, mustard and tomato paste to build up a nice rich flavor)
    3. Deglaze with liquid and cook in high pressure!
    4. After you release the pressure we add in a thickener and creaminess (coconut cream) to finish it off.
    5. Serve with gluten-free pasta or noodles and ENJOY!

    Instant Pot Beef Short Ribs

    Posted on by Lexi's Clean Kitchen , Views: 69786

    These melt-in-your-mouth Instant Pot Beef Short Ribs are SO delicious and SO impressive but are SO easy to put together! And thanks to the Instant Pot, the braising time is slashed without sacrificing any of the flavor. This decadent dinner is naturally Paleo and Keto and Whole30 friendly and when paired with a side of quick cauli-mash will be the hit of the dinner table!

    How long does it take to cook beef short ribs in the pressure cooker?

    Instant Pot Beef Short Ribs

    Back in the summer when we were brainstorming recipes that we wanted to create for the upcoming Fall season, we knew that some new Instant Pot recipes were a MUST. And when thinking of warm, hearty and comforting food, braised meat is the first that comes to mind! While I have a version of Short Ribs in my cookbook, this flavor-packed Instant Pot Beef Short Ribs recipe is becoming a quick favorite. It has all the flavor of meat that has been braised for hours but in a fraction of the time thanks to the Instant Pot. We paired this heart dish with a side of quick cauli-mash and we’re glad we did.

    We opted to use boneless beef short ribs in our recipe, but this recipe will work with bone-in ribs with a slightly longer cooking time (increase by 10 minutes). The resulting sauce that cooks with the short ribs is so decadent. It is full of umami flavor thanks to the sear on the meat, the balsamic vinegar and coconut sugar (If you are restricted by sugar simply leave it out).

    how do you cook short ribs in the pressure cooker

    How do you cook short ribs in the Instant Pot?

    It’s so simple!

    1. You sear the meat using the saute function until it’s nice and browned to deepen the flavor of the resulting sauce.
    2. Add some aromatics to the pot (we use shallots, garlic, carrots and rosemary).
    3. Deglaze the pot with liquid (we use wine and beef broth, but you can use all beef broth)
    4. Cook on high pressure for 40 minutes, with a natural release for 10 minutes.
    5. Reduce the sauce further, adding the optional thickener if desired.
    6. Serve with cauli-mash and enjoy! (Note: It’s even better the next day, so you can make this ahead of time if you want and reheat when ready to serve)

    Ingredients

    For Beef Short Ribs:

    For Cauli-mash

    Directions

    For Beef Short Ribs:

    1. Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
    2. In a 6 or 8 quart Instant pot, press the saute function to heat up the pot. Once hot, add oil.
    3. Sear beef, about 5-7 minutes per side, in batches if necessary. Remove beef and set aside.
    4. Add shallots, garlic, carrots, rosemary to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
    5. Add red wine, beef broth to the pot and scrape up and browned bits from the bottom to deglaze the pan. Shut off the saute function. Return the beef to the pot and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes.
    6. When finished, use the natural release for 10 minutes and then use the quick release function to release the remaining pressure.
    7. Once the pin has dropped, open the pressure cooker and remove the meat from the pot and set aside. If there is a large amount of fat sitting on top of the liquid, skim off and discard (see note).
    8. Add balsamic vinegar and coconut sugar (if using) and turn on the saute function to reduce the liquid for 10 minutes.
    9. If you want to thicken up the sauce: add 2 teaspoons arrowroot to a small bowl. Take out 2 tablespoons of the sauce from the pot and whisk it in the arrowroot to make a slurry. Pour the slurry back in to the pot and continue to boil for 1 minute.
    10. Return meat to the pot and let cool briefly.
    11. Serve with cauli-mash (recipe below).

    For Cauli-mash:

    1. Fill a large pot with 1 inch of water and place in a steamer basket and bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to a  simmer and place in cauliflower florets, cover the pot and steam until nice and tender, about 12-14 minutes.
    2. In a bowl, using a hand blender, (or food processor) blend steamed cauliflower with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oil and until fully combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
    3. Keep warm until ready to serve.

    Recipe Notes

    1. If using red wine make sure that you are using a red wine that is tastes good! Whenever cooking with wine you always want to make sure that they wine tastes good enough to drink because the flavors can shine through!
    2. If you are cooking this ahead of time it is much easier to remove the fat once the sauce has cooled, so feel free to skip this step and wait for it to chill. If you are serving it fresh and wish to remove excess fat skim it off gently with a spoon.
    3. We opted to use boneless beef short ribs in our recipe, but this recipe will work with bone-in ribs with a slightly longer cooking time (increase by 10 minutes).
