Step-by-Step Instructions
- Place 1 pound of beef skirt steak in your Instant Pot along with 1 cup of water, a slice of onion, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Close the lid securely. Ensure the vent is in the sealing position, then set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 20 minutes, allowing about 10-15 minutes for it to come to pressure.
- Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes. Afterward, carefully release any remaining pressure by switching the valve to venting. When safe to do so, open the lid to reveal perfectly cooked, tender beef ready for shredding.
- Transfer the cooked beef to a large bowl. Using two forks, shred the beef into bite-sized pieces while it’s still warm.
- As the beef cools, wash and shred 2 cups of iceberg lettuce, then set it aside. Dice 1 tomato (or a handful of cherry tomatoes) and finely chop the remaining onion slice and 1 serrano chili. Gather ¼ cup of chopped cilantro.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded beef, prepared vegetables, and chopped cilantro. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently toss everything together.
- Drizzle the salad with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of 1 lime. Toss again to evenly coat the mixture with the dressing. For a finishing touch, slice an avocado and place it on top of each serving.
