Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 large Red onion
- 14 ounces Diced tomatoes
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 piece Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the beef. Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast and cut it into large chunks, about 2 inches each.
Season the beef pieces on all sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef pieces in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the diced red onion to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and release their aroma.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and 2 cups of beef broth. Stir to combine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Return the seared beef to the pot, ensuring that the pieces are partially submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fork-tender.
Once the beef is tender, remove the lid and let the sauce thicken for an additional 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Turn off the heat and stir in freshly chopped cilantro and the juice of one lime to brighten the flavors.
Serve the chipotle beef with your choice of sides such as white rice, warm tortillas, or a fresh salad. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
