Braised Beef Tacos Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Sear the Beef

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the beef and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Remaining Ingredients

   Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, and the seared beef back into the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4. 4

   Braise the Beef

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

5. 5

   Shred the Beef

   Remove the beef from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir to combine with the sauce.

6. 6

   Warm the Tortillas

   In a skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat until pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.

7. 7

   Assemble the Tacos

   To serve, place a generous amount of the shredded beef mixture on each tortilla, top with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
