You ever tried making carne guisada in the instant pot?

We used to make it in a slow cooker. Tried once in the instant pot and we didn’t adjust the recipe correctly. Didn’t get the gravy part right. Have a good recipe for slow cooker, so may just need to tweak it a little more for pressure cooking

No, my best carne asada is always grilled, so I haven't even attempted it in the instapot. Having said that, the gravy part in an instapot seems fairly straight forward. You just make a slurry with flour and do a reduction. If you don't like the taste, you should try a different liquid when you're cooking. For example, I made a pot roast at my grandmother's house, but she didn't have any beef or chicken broth. I ended up using red wine and it was over the top UNREAL! And I don't even like pot roast. So coming back to the carne asada, you may want to experiment with other liquids. You may want to try half beer and half water or something like that. I have yet to make a bad meal 8n the instapot.

Good to know. I was talking about guisada (not asada) which is beef tips in a brown gravy. Not too dissimilar from a pot roast. At restaurants the gravy part is usually thick. I used my recipe for a slow cooker without adjustments for pressure cooking and it came out way too thin/watery. So at a minimum I think I need less fluid or maybe a little more flour. Probably just need to experiment a bit until I nail it. Pressure cooker would be so much faster if I can get this right.

Oh, I thought it was an auto correct. The liquid is always too watery when you remove the meat, so that is why you want a slurry and then do the reduction. You don't need less fluid when you cook, you just need a thicker slurry or more time doing the reduction - or both. It doesn't take much time in these things to do the reduction.

I just bought that $50 instapot for my office. Way too good a deal to pass up. Looks like I'll be eating well at work! Boom!

I use it to make quick and delicious chicken tacos. I buy a rotisserie chicken from the store and then I pressure cook it for 20 minutes in sour orange juice, lime zest and garlic. If you have time take the pot and put it in the fridge over night.
The chicken shreds apart and makes amazing tacos. Serve it with panelo cheese (feta if it’s all you have), cilantro, lime wedges and tapatio hot sauce. If you like make a sour cream and cilantro sauce too). It’s the best.


This is the sour orange I use. It has spices in it too.

That sounds fucking disgusting.
