Beef Preparation
1. Prepare the Beef
Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the seasoning into the meat.
2. Sear the Beef
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef and sear on all sides until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Mojo
In the same skillet, add lime juice, minced garlic, and sliced red onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes until onions are slightly softened.
4. Shred the Beef
Using two forks, shred the seared beef into bite-sized pieces and mix with the mojo mixture. Set aside.

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables are softened.
6. Add Tomato Paste and Broth
Stir in tomato paste, chicken broth, oregano, cumin, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.
7. Add Shredded Beef
Add the shredded beef to the pot and stir to combine. Simmer for 20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
