Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless beef chuck roast
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by preparing the beef chuck roast. Trim any excess fat and pat the meat dry with paper towels. Season the meat generously with salt, pepper, thyme, and smoked paprika on all sides.
Peel the large yellow onions and slice them into thin rings. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the beef roast on all sides until deeply browned. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and starting to caramelize.
Add the minced garlic to the onions and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Transfer the beef, onions, and garlic to a slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce over the roast.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 6 to 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Once done, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the onions and remaining juices.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Let the shredded meat sit in its juices for an additional 10 minutes on the 'warm' setting before serving.
Serve the high protein shredded meat with onions over rice, in tacos, or alongside your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
