Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 can chopped green chilies
  • 1 ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1-2 bay leaves
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne
  • 1 ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1-2 beef shanks
  • 1 lb pinto beans rinsed, sorted, and picked through
  • 1 bottle BBQ sauce of choice OPTIONAL

Instructions
 

  • Turn pressure cooker to saute/sear and add olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the onions and saute until soft.
  • Add green chilies and spices and saute just 30-60 seconds.
  • Add broth, water, beans, and beef shanks.
  • Place lid on the pot and seal. Set to 50-60 minutes on high pressure.
  • When time is up, allow to natural pressure release at least 20 minutes.
  • Release remaining pressure, fish out the bones & bay leaves, and if you are adding BBQ sauce to the pot, do that now. Residual heat will warm the sauce.
