Ingredients

  • 2-3 lb sirloin roast
  • 15 oz can beef broth
  • 8 oz can tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 tbs garlic minced
  • 1 tsp beef base
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Trim off the excess fat from the roast. Then season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat up the pressure cooker base or a dutch oven over medium/high heat. Add two tablespoons of olive oil and then add the roast. Brown the roast on all sides.
  • Once the roast is browned add the broth, tomato paste, red wine, beef base, garlic, thyme and onion powder.
  • Add the pressure cooker lid and cook at 15lbs of pressure for 45 minutes. If you do not have a pressure cooker, place the dutch oven in a 275 degree oven for 5 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
  • After the time is up, release the pressure and remove the meat from the pan into a bowl for shredding. Place the drippings and juices back on medium/high heat for 10-15 minutes to reduce the liquid.
  • After you shred the meat, slowly ladle the reduced liquid back over the meat. Adding as much liquid as you would like. I prefer about 1/4 cup of liquid per 3/4 cup of meat.
  • Serve the meat on a bun or as is with a side of mashed potatoes.
