Instructions

Place the solid cooking fat in the bottom of the Instant Pot and press the Saute button. When the fat has melted and the pan is hot, add the onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes, or until starting to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Turn off the heat.
Add the broth, ferments, lemon juice, molasses, and spices to the pot and stir to combine. Add the beef chunks and mix so coated with the mixture. Close and lock the lid and set on Manual - High Pressure for 60 minutes.
When the timer goes off, press the Cancel button to turn the warming function off. Allow the Instant Pot to depressurize naturally (note, this takes about 30 minutes, but is essential to the meat coming out tender).
When the Instant Pot has depressurized, carefully remove the lid and use a slotted spoon to transfer the meat chunks to a container. Press the Saute button to reduce the cooking liquid by ½-2/3, about 15 minutes. While the sauce is reducing, shred the beef.
Once the sauce has reduced to the desired consistency, press the Cancel button to turn the Instant Pot off. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before adding to the shredded meat and serving.
