Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3.5 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef chuck roast on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • In a blender, combine chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, beef broth, and apple cider vinegar. Blend until smooth.
  • Place the browned roast into a slow cooker. Pour the blended sauce over the meat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the meat is tender and shreds easily.
  • Remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Return shredded meat to the sauce and stir well.
  • Serve warm in tacos, burritos, or bowls with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the beef overnight with the sauce before cooking.
