Notes

Instant Pot Instructions:
Follow the same prep instructions as the Crock Pot version, EXCEPT for add ½ cup more beef broth (so, 1 cup broth total). Then close the lid and set the valve to “sealing”.
Turn the Instant Pot on “Manual” mode for 90 minutes (or pressure cook on “HIGH”).
Once done, allow a 15 minute natural release (meaning: leave it alone!), then set the valve to “venting”.
Remove the roast, and place in a large bowl. (Leave the broth in the Instant Pot.) Shred with two forks, discarding any excess fat.
Return the beef to the pot, squeeze in lime juice, and stir. Do a taste, and add more salt if needed. Ready to serve!
(For a drier beef: Leave the beef in the large bowl after shredding, and add some reserved broth to it until desired consistency/flavor is achieved.)
