Shredded Beef Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Sear the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Aromatics

    Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Return the beef to the skillet. Add beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, cumin, paprika, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook the Beef

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.

  5. 5

    Shred the Beef

    Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the beef using two forks.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Return the shredded beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce. Serve warm.
