    Venison Barbacoa - Instant Pot Recipe

    I've been eating the heck out of this since I discovered the recipe. It's simple to make, and makes a ton of food. A boned deer shoulder typically provides just the right amount of meat for this.

    SEE MY VIDEO HERE


    Here's the recipe:

    Instant Pot Venison Barbacoa

    2/3 cup Mexican beer
    4-5 cloves garlic
    2-3 chipotles in adobo sauce (or more, to taste)
    1 small white onion, peeled and roughly chopped
    1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles
    1/4 cup fresh lime juice
    2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    1 tablespoon ground cumin
    1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1/4 tsp ground cloves
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    3-4 pounds venison, cut into 2-inch chunks
    3 bay leaves

    Combine beer, garlic, chipotles, onion, green chiles, lime juice, vinegar, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and cloves in a blender or food processor. Purée for 30 seconds, or until completely smooth. Set aside.

    Brown venison on high heat, about 1 minute on at least 2 sides, either in the Instant Pot or in a skillet with oil. Make sure to get a good sear.

    Set Instant Pot on Manual for 60 minutes. When cooking is done, carefully release the pressure completely before opening.

    Discard bay leaves, and transfer venison to a bowl. Shred with 2 forks, then mix some of the sauce from the pot into the meat. Toss well before serving.

      Trying a similar recipe with a shoulder this weekend. Smoker first and then roasting pan with the drippings/marinade to braise the rest of the way. Stealing your marinade!

          that reminds me. firing up smoker this weekend. I followed another recipe on here similar but somehow convinced me to smoke the shoulder. I also did it bone in. Only done this once and found the bone to big for the instant pot. Used a larger crock pot. Maybe this time I'll just cut the meat off the bone after smoked.

              I've got a batch going right now. Smoked the leg for about 3.5 hours this morning. Using crock pot instead of the instant pot. I need a large instant pot.

                Will cook 3-6 hours with lid on. Also doing brisket ribs and chicken on smoker. So this will be for later this week.

                        Yep. It's a good recipe of yours. I hope to never butcher the front leg of a deer again. This is so much better.

                            Looks amazing. I don't have an insta pot but I may try this sous vide.

                              Post an update if you do! I don't have the sous vide equipment, but I'd be curious how this would turn out.
