Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the onion, mince the garlic, slice the carrots and chop the celery into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Beef

    In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, sear the seasoned beef chuck roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add a little oil if necessary and sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery until the onion becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the seared beef to the pot and add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves.

  4. 6

    Simmer

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

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Hot

    Remove the beef from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir to combine. Serve hot in bowls, garnished with chopped parsley, sliced jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
