Directions for: Instant Pot Keto Chili

Ingredients

2 lb(s) beef chuck roast, at room temperature for 1 hour

1 lb(s) boneless pork shoulder, at room temperature for 1 hour

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 - 4 Tbsp canola oil

1 large onion, cut into a 1/2" dice

1 poblano pepper, seeds and stem removed and cut into a 1/2" dice

cup chili powder

2 Tbsp ground cumin

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp dried oregano

cup tomato paste

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 15-oz can diced tomatoes

1 cup beef broth

2 lb(s) fresh (Mexican style) chorizo, meat removed from the casings and broken into small pieces

Serving suggestions: sour cream, shredded Cheddar and chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

1. Preheat a 6-quart Instant Pot on the saute setting until the display reads 'hot' (see Cook's Note). Sprinkle the chuck roast and pork shoulder all over with 1 teaspoon of salt and a generous amount of pepper. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pot, then add the chuck roast and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a sheet pan or large plate.

2. Add more oil if necessary and repeat the process with the pork shoulder, browning on all sides. Remove and set aside with the beef.

3. Add the onion and poblano to the pot along with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, with a wooden spoon and scraping the browned meaty bits from the bottom of the pot, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano and cook, stirring to evenly distribute and heat the spices until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and garlic and continue to cook, stirring, 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and beef broth and stir to combine, scraping the bottom with your spoon. Turn the pot off.

4. Cut the chuck and pork shoulder into 3/4-inch pieces. Add to the pot along with the chorizo and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Stir the chili and serve with toppings such as sour cream, shredded Cheddar and chopped cilantro.
