Instructions

Prep The Beef 

In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning evenly all over the beef roast on all sides.

  3.  Cook HIGH 4-5 hours or LOW 8-9.
  4. Remove beef from slow cooker. Shred the meat and place back into the slow cooker until ready to serve.

Instant Pot

    2. Remove beef from the Instant Pot. Pour in beef broth and deglaze the bottom of the pressure cooker by scraping the bits off with a wooden spoon.
    3. Add the beef back to the pot.
    4. Close lid and seal valve. Set high pressure and cook 45 minutes. When cooking time is complete, quick release the pressure. Add the potatoes, onion, and carrots.
    5. Close lid and seal valve. Set high pressure and cook 3 minutes. When cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally.
