    Ingredients You Need To Make Shredded Beef:

    Boneless Beef Roast - London broil, tri-tip roast, chuck roast, or similar all work great in this recipe. You'll need a two pound cut.

    Beef Broth - Beef broth, chicken broth or vegetable broth.

    Red Wine Vinegar - You can also use apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar. This helps to tenderize the meat.

    Tomato Sauce - Tomato paste can be used as a substitute. If using tomato paste, only use one tablespoon.

    Worcestershire Sauce - Adds a delicious flavor to the shredded beef.

    Soy Sauce - Regular or low sodium soy sauce will both work fine since we are only using one teaspoon.

    Mustard - Yellow mustard is best in this recipe.

    Oil - We use avocado oil in this recipe in combination with butter to sear the beef.

    Butter - Salted or unsalted butter both work great in this recipe. We use butter and oil to sear the roast prior to pressure cooking.

    Seasonings - Garlic Powder, Salt, Black Pepper.

    Tools To Have On Hand For This Recipe:

    Measuring Cups and Spoons - To properly measure all of your ingredients.
