Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: For carne adovada, chuck roast or pork shoulder are great options as they have a good amount of fat that will render down and keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Make sure to marinate the meat for at least 2 hours, or even overnight. This will help infuse the meat with flavor and make it more tender.
- Don't overcrowd the Instant Pot. If you're cooking a large batch of carne adovada, cook it in batches to ensure that the meat cooks evenly.
- Use a natural release for the pressure. This will help prevent the meat from overcooking.
- Serve carne adovada with your favorite Mexican sides, such as rice, beans, tortillas, and salsa.
