- Optional Diced onion, cilantro, sour cream, lime wedges, rice and beans for serving
Instructions
- Place the Birria-seasoned beef in your electric pressure cooker and use the “Meat” setting or cook for 45 minutes on high pressure. Let it naturally release for 10 minutes before opening.
- Remove the beef and shred it using two forks. Return it to the leftover cooking liquid to soak up all that flavorful broth.

Notes
Ingredient Note: Aldi’s Birria-Seasoned Beef Chuck Roast
You’ll find the star of this recipe in Aldi’s refrigerated meat section — it’s a pre-packaged Birria-Seasoned Beef Chuck Roast, and it’s already marinated and ready to go. No need to fuss with a long list of spices or hours of prep! Just open the package, toss it in your pressure cooker, and let it do its thing. I used a 2.66 lb chuck roast for this recipe. You will need to adjust cook time up or down depending on size of your chuck roast.Servings: 4 people
