This recipe is totally doable without an instant pot. I would recommend using a flank steak or ribeye in place of the chuck roast; simply follow the same recipe. The instant pot works wonders on the chuck roast, which leaves the beef melting in your mouth. It makes the Payaso go back for seconds, thirds and fourths, y’all. Now you might be looking at that picture and saying, “Gringo, there’s something wrong with that rice you used.” Low carb is all the rage, and so many people are substituting cauliflower for rice these days. We’ve tried that and it’s tasty, but I think it’s so much work to rice the cauliflower. I recently found a product on Amazon that’s even healthier than cauliflower, and it’s called Miracle Rice.
This was our first time using this product and it met our expectations. It doesn’t have that earthy flavor that the cauliflower rice has, but it doesn’t have the chew that normal rice has. The great news is it is very low in carbs and we liked it better than cauliflower rice; it was also MUCH easier to make.
