Method

Cooking the Beef

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Beef

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef

    Add the beef broth and minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreddable.

  4. 4

    Shred the Beef

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the skillet and shred it using two forks. Set aside.

Preparing the Hash

  1. 5

    Cook the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. In a separate pan, boil the sweet potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 6

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet used for the beef, add a little more oil if necessary. Sauté the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked sweet potatoes and shredded beef to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Hash

    Serve the beef sweet barbacoa potato hash hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and lime wedges on the side.
