Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 12 fluid ounces Coca-Cola
- 1 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.
Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Sear the roast in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the roast and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Coca-Cola, ketchup, brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, red chili flakes, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Place the seared roast into a slow cooker or Dutch oven. Pour the Coke mixture over the roast. Add the beef broth to the pot.
If using a slow cooker, set to low and cook for 8 hours (or high for 4 hours). For a Dutch oven, cover and bake in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 4 hours.
Once cooked, remove the roast and shred it with two forks. Skim any excess fat from the cooking liquid.
To thicken the sauce, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Stir it into the cooking liquid and simmer until thickened.
Return the shredded beef to the sauce and mix well. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
