Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sear the beef roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step locks in flavor.
Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker. Alternatively, you can use a large, heavy-bottomed pot for stovetop cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste until well combined.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the slow cooker (or pot), then pour the broth mixture over the beef.
If using a slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. For stovetop cooking, simmer on low heat with the lid partially on for about 3-4 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the liquid doesn’t evaporate too much (add water as needed).
Once the beef is tender and easily shreddable, use two forks to shred it directly in the pot or slow cooker.
Stir the shredded beef to coat it evenly in the flavorful juices.
To serve, spoon the shredded beef over warm, cooked white rice.
Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
