Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 10 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 1.5 cups Beef broth
- 8 ounces Tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 whole Bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss the beef cubes with the flour until evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes, working in batches if necessary, for 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer them to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add this mixture to the crock pot.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, beef broth, tomato sauce, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and the bay leaf to the crock pot. Stir everything together until well combined.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally if possible.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot over rice or with warm tortillas. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
