I’ve been making pulled beef for many years. At one point it was my go-to meat dish on special occasions but it quickly became something that I would make randomly from time to time. Usually when I make pulled beef it would be from a huge chunk of meat, seasoned, seared then braised for 4 to 6 hours. Low and slow is the way to go. So you could definitely make it that way and achieve great results but this recipe uses a pressure cooker which cuts down the cooking time considerably.
For this particular recipe I enjoyed the pulled beef with some homemade corn tortillas but you can easily have this in so many different ways.
