Braised Beef

Cilantro Rice

Pico de Gallo

Black Bean Relish

Fire Roasted Corn

Garbanzo Beans

Chipotle Aioli

Avocado

Method

Braised Beef

  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 pepper, then sear it on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Braise the Beef

    Return the beef to the pot, add beef broth, cumin, and smoked paprika. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours or until the beef is fork-tender. Remove the beef from the pot and shred it with two forks.

Cilantro Rice

  1. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine white rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked.

  2. 5

    Add Cilantro and Lime

    Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste.

Pico de Gallo

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Black Bean Relish

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix the drained black beans, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir to combine and let sit for 10 minutes.

Fire Roasted Corn

  1. 8

    Prepare Corn

    In a bowl, mix the canned fire roasted corn with lime juice and salt to taste. Set aside.

Garbanzo Beans

  1. 9

    Season Beans

    In a bowl, toss the drained garbanzo beans with olive oil, cumin powder, paprika, and salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.

Chipotle Aioli

  1. 10

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Avocado

  1. 11

    Prepare Avocado

    Slice the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with salt.
