Day Nineteen! You’re almost out of your teens! If you’ve made it this far, my guess is that you’re already feeling the benefits of doing a Whole30. Melissa Hartwig calls this “Tiger Blood”—your energy levels have increased, and you’re feeling chipper and self-confident. You’re kicking butt and taking names. This is a momentous occasion, and calls for an equally momentous meal: Whole30 Mexican Beef!
There are two ways to make this classic Nom Nom Paleo dish: braising it in the oven or cooking it in your trusty pressure cooker (or Instant Pot!). Choose a method to make my Whole30 Mexican Beef, and click the corresponding pics below for the instructions:
OVEN BRAISED MEXICAN BEEF

INSTANT POT (PRESSURE COOKER) MEXICAN BEEF

You can’t go wrong with either method, but as a certified Instant Pot-head, you know I’m going to recommend breaking out an electric pressure cooker if you have one. It’s way faster and easier, and you won’t have to babysit the beef while it cooks. (I don’t know about you, but I barely have the energy to watch own my kids, let alone babysit a pot of meat in the oven.) Stick everything in an Instant Pot, and it’ll cook while you’re out on the town, at work, at school, or even when you’re fast asleep!
