Ever since this whole mess started, and we are spending more time at home, I have been working on recipes that that are easy/peasy, and some that are a bit more complicated. This recipe started with a frozen roast, and a two-stage method to make it super yummy and tender. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make bbq essentials: two stage shredded beef roast

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

You will need an Instant Pot, or other device that allows you to pressure cook and slow cook.
Step 3

I am using a frozen roast because so many of us have roasts in the freezer. In addition, this is a top round, but most roast types should work in the recipe.
Step 4

There are some good BBQ sauces on the market… Sweet Baby Ray’s comes to mind; however, if you want homemade, here are a couple of suggestions: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-other-sauce-spread/awesome-honey-bacon-bourbon-bbq-sauce.html?r=12 https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/sauce-essentials-southern-style-bbq-sauce.html?r=16 https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/sauce-essentials-sweet-and-spicy-bbq-sauce.html?r=23
Step 5

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 6

Add the veggies to the bowl of your Instant Pot.
Step 7

Add the remainder of the ingredients and stir to combine.
Step 8

Add the frozen roast.
Step 9

Set your Instant Pot to pressure cook, high, and let it cook for 60 minutes. Then, wait about 20 minutes before releasing any leftover pressure.
Step 10

Leave everything in the pot, and set the Instant Pot to slow cook, high, then cook for 1 hour.
Step 11

After 1 hour, remove the beef, allow to cool and shred.
Step 12

Discard the cooking liquid and wipe out the bowl.
Step 13

Return the shredded beef to the Instant Pot and mix in 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce. Then, slow cook on low for an additional hour.
Step 14

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 15

Serve on sandwiches, and any other way you would use yummy shredded BBQ beef. Enjoy.
Step 16

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
