Tips
- Chuck roast: It’s important to use a cut of beef like chuck roast that has a good amount of fat. The fat helps to keep the meat from drying out as it cooks.
- Cornmeal: The cornmeal helps to thicken the sauce. If you want thinner sauce, you can omit it.
- Spicy: The salsa verde beef can be hot or mild. For hotter beef, use hot taco seasoning and hot salsa verde. For milder beef, use medium or mild taco seasoning and salsa verde.
Serving suggestions
I like to serve salsa verde beef with flour tortillas and Instant Pot Mexican pinto beans on the side. I top it with queso fresco, sour cream, pico de gallo, fresh cilantro, and fresh sliced avocado or guacamole.
