This Instant Pot Carne Asada Recipe is incredibly quick & easy to make, but also extremely flavorful and juicy. Plus, the meat turns out so tender it practically falls apart! And, best of all, this Instant Pot Carne Asada comes together in just 30 minutes and makes 8 delicious servings. At only 1.5g carbs per serving, this keto carne asada is simply one of the BEST things you can do with an Instant Pot and some beef.

1 tsp. Ground Cumin

¼ tsp. Chili Flakes

½ Red Onion (60g) - sliced

2/3 tsp. Salt

¼ tsp. Black Pepper

1 tbsp. (15g) Olive Oil

Instructions

Notes

The nutritional info is based on the Carne Asada itself and does not include the tortilla. Not everyone will use the tortillas for the recipe, so I did not include it for the nutritional info.
