Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups salsa
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
Place the seared roast in the bottom of a crock pot (slow cooker).
In a medium bowl, mix together salsa, beef broth, ground cumin, chili powder, and lime juice.
Pour the salsa mixture over the roast, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. The roast is done when it is fork-tender and easily shreds.
Once cooked, shred the beef directly in the crock pot using two forks. Stir to combine the shredded beef with the juices and salsa in the pot.
If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the top before serving.
Serve the salsa roast as a filling for tacos, burritos, or lettuce wraps, or pair it with rice and beans.
