Steps:

• Make the dry rub: In a small bowl, combine paprika with chili powder, oregano, coriander, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Liberally season the beef portions with the dry rub.
• Heat vegetable oil in a pot/Instant Pot. Sear the roasts (in 2 batches) until brown on all sides. Deglaze the pot with 2 tablespoons of water scrubbing any stuck bits to the bottom of the pot with a wooden spatula or spoon.
• Add the beef back in, and add the beef broth. Give everything a quick stir so that the meat is covered in the liquid. Add lime juice to the broth.
• If cooking over the stovetop or in a slow cooker, cook until tender on medium heat, or for 8 hours on low in the slow cooker.
• If using an Instant Pot, secure the lid and set the vent to SEALING. Select the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting and set the cooking time for 55 minutes at high pressure. The Instant Pot will take around 10 minutes to come to pressure and start cooking. When the cooking program ends, quickly release the steam.
• Carefully remove the lid and take the beef out to shred.
• Shred the meat using 2 forks, then put it back in the Instant Pot in the sauce to soak it up.
• Strain liquid from beef, and serve in tortillas with your favorite toppings.

SHREDDED BEEF TACO MEAT

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy large pot over medium high heat. Brown roast, letting it sit undisturbed on each side until it is more easily removed from the pan, creating a nice golden crust on the exposed edges (this adds flavor, do not omit). Remove to crock pot large enough to hold the roast.
• Deglaze pan, turn off heat of pan but while still hot, add the broth to the pan and stir until the bits on the bottom of the pan are cleaned off. Add broth and browned bits to crock pot.
• Add salsa, garlic, brown sugar and soy sauce to crock pot. Cook until meat falls apart, about 4-6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low, depending on your crock pot (another good reason to do ahead of time, if the meat doesn't fall apart, keep cooking it in the crock pot).
• When meat falls apart, remove from the crock pot in batches, shred using two forks and put in a container, discarding fat (this is the majority of the preparation time).
• Skim fat from the juices left in the crock pot, then pour the juices over the shredded meat in the container. Refrigerate overnight (the meat will soak the juices back up if you do this) or freeze.
• When ready to eat, reheat in a pan on the stove and add lime juice and cilantro. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator or microwave.
• Can serve with tortillas and traditional fixings like lettuce, tomato, cheese, salsa, avocado, sour cream and additional salsa, or it's really good with salad greens and black beans.
