Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 4-ounce cans Diced green chilies (canned)
- 1 Jalapeño, diced (optional, for added heat)
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast generously on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cumin.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Transfer the seared beef, sautéed onion, and garlic into the crock pot.
Add in the diced green chilies (including their liquid), diced jalapeño (if using), and beef broth into the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crock pot and mix it with the juices.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or cumin if desired.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot. This beef is excellent in tacos, burritos, over rice, or in bowls with your favorite toppings.
