Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by chopping the onion and mincing the garlic cloves. If using fresh green chilies, roast them over an open flame until charred, then peel and chop. If using canned green chilies, simply drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sear the Beef

    In a large skillet, 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 roast and sear it on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side).

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker

    Transfer the seared beef roast to a slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, green chilies, cumin, and beef broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  2. 4

    Cook the Beef

    Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for about 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Shred the Beef

    Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the beef into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 6

    Mix with Sauce and Serve

    Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the cooking liquid. Add lime juice for a fresh flavor. Serve warm with tortillas, rice, or your choice of sides.
