Updated 2020 with Instant Pot instructions

Since I’m here updating this recipe with electric pressure cooker instructions (Instant Pot), I’m also updating the name. It was previously titles Carne Asada Soup but in retrospect, I have no idea why I named it that. It doesn’t use carne asada meat or flavors at all. I’m changing the name to Tex-Mex Beef Soup. That’s really all it is – beef soup using my favorite Tex-Mex flavors.

This recipe takes carne asada flavors and turns them into a soup. Flavorful and filling, this slow cooker soup is super easy and healthy too.

What is Tex-Mex?

Tex-Mex is a cuisine is also known as Mexican American cuisine, made famous from Tejanos from Texas. It’s popular in American/Mexico border states, particularly Texas. While I wanted this recipe to be very simple, I still wanted it to use ingredients that are associated with Tex-Mex cuisine. I strayed from my usual low-carb, paleo recipe structure for this soup because I wanted it to include these two ingredients: corn & black beans. Corn (maíz) is one of the most commonly used ingredients in Tex-Mex cooking. It’s used in everything from tortillas, tamales, to drinks. Black beans (frijoles negros),  you’ll find as an accompaniments to most main dishes. I used canned black beans and canned corn that I drained and rinsed first. Yes, you can use frozen corn, no need to change the recipe if you do. If you use dry black beans, you will need to pre-soak them first but otherwise no change to the recipe.

What Type Of Beef To Use

I like to use sirloin. Other suggestions are flank, top round, chuck, or even brisket.  If you’re using a tougher cut like brisket, cut it into 1/2-inch size pieces to help it cook-to-tender faster.

    I have some left over carne asada that I grilled still medium rare. Will it break down the meat so it’s tender at 30min in an instantpot?

      While I’m no expert, I believe so. I would perhaps wait until it’s done cooking & drop the meat in and let it cook in sauté until it’s warmed through or cooked to your liking.

    I think I’ll try this, but think I’ll grill or cook the meat in some way first to perhaps add some flavor to it or tenderize it or texturize it a bit. Just a thought.

    I love slow cooker meals so will definitely add this on my to-do list. Hubby is a big fan of Mexican so this sounds perfect for him.
