Start by patting the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, ground cumin, and paprika on all sides.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until nicely browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the beef and set aside.
Peel and slice the onions into thin rings. In the same pot, add a bit more olive oil if needed and sauté the onions over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
Return the seared beef to the pot with the onions. Pour in the beef broth around the meat, not directly on top, to maintain the sear.
Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the beef to cook slowly for about 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the meat from the pot and shred using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the pot and mix well with the onions and juices.
Serve the shredded meat warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!
