Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless beef chuck roast
- 2 cups salsa verde
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cumin, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly all over the beef.
Place the diced onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the crock pot.
Set the beef roast on top of the onion and garlic mixture in the crock pot.
Pour the salsa verde over the beef, ensuring it is mostly covered.
Set the crock pot to low and cook for 8 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
Once cooked, carefully remove the beef from the crock pot and place it on a large cutting board.
Using two forks, shred the beef into fine pieces. Remove any large chunks of fat if desired.
Return the shredded beef to the crock pot, mix it with the juices and salsa verde, and add lime juice. Stir well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For extra flavor, stir in fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the shredded salsa verde beef in tacos, burritos, over rice, or with your favorite sides.
