- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ cup low sodium beef broth
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice

Instructions
- Set Instant Pot to the Saute setting. When it’s heated, add the oil.
- Pat the roast dry. Sear the beef in the oil on both sides until browned, 4-5 minutes per side.
- Add remaining ingredients except red cabbage and apples to the pot. Set for 50 minutes on manual OR use the Beef/Stew button. Make sure the vent is set to sealed.
- Do a natural pressure release for 15-20 minutes (this means let the beef sit in the pot – don’t anything to it for 15-20 minutes). Then, move the vent to steam and let out the pressure. Remove the roast to a large bowl and shred it. Add back into the pot and cook with the juices.
