How to make Easy Instant Pot Birria

Sear the Meat

Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode and add oil.
Season the beef with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, and paprika.
Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce

In the same pot, add dried chiles, onion, garlic, and tomatoes.
Pour in 2 cups of broth and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.
Blend the softened chiles, veggies, broth, vinegar, and cinnamon until smooth.

Return beef to the Instant Pot and pour the sauce over it.
Add the remaining 2 cups of broth and bay leaves.
