Shredded Beef Recipe

Shredded Beef Directions

1. 1

   Sear the Beef

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper, then sear it on all sides until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Spices and Broth

   Stir in cumin and chili powder, then return the seared beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, ensuring the beef is mostly submerged.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

5. 5

   Shred the Beef

   Once cooked, remove the beef from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir to combine with the juices.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the shredded beef warm with Spanish rice and pinto beans on the side.
