Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 14.5 oz fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 2 whole chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the bottom of your crock pot, add the beef broth, fire-roasted diced tomatoes (with juice), chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and lime juice. Stir to combine.
Place the seared beef roast into the crock pot, ensuring it is nestled into the liquid and spices.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crock pot and stir to coat it in the flavorful juices.
Optional: garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve the spicy shredded beef in tacos, burritos, over rice, or alongside your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
