Ingredients
- 3 Pound Chuck Roast
- 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 2 teaspoons Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
- 3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 15 Ounce Can Diced Tomatoes
- 1/2 Cup Beef Broth
- 2 Bell Peppers, sliced
- 2 Onions, sliced
- 2 Jalapeños, sliced
- Juice of Two Large Limes
Instructions
-
In a small bowl mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste.
-
Season the roast evenly with the spice mixture. Cover the roast with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the roast and sear until browned on all sides.
-
Add the roast to the crockpot. Pour over the diced tomatoes, broth, bell pepper onion, jalapenos, then squeeze over the lime juice.
-
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
-
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings! This meat is great for nachos, burritos, tacos, or salad!
- You’ll start with a 3-4 pound chuck roast. Lay it out flat on a cutting board lined with a large piece of plastic wrap.
- In a small bowl, whisk your seasonings. Season the roast as evenly as possible and use your hands to massage the seasoning into the roast until really well coated on all sides.
- Now, this is important for the best flavor. Wrap the beef up tightly in the plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a good 8-24 hours before cooking. You can cook it right away if you’re short on time, but it’s not quite the same.
- After you have let your roast marinate, heat your vegetable oil in a large skillet. Sear the roast on all sides until you have a nice “crust” this will take just a few minutes per side, and the roast won’t be cooked all the way through. Again, it might be tempting to make things a little faster and skip the searing, but you want to do this for max flavor!
- Add your meat to the slow cooker and pour in your beef broth, add your veggies, tomatoes, and squeeze over the juice of two limes.
- Cover and cook this on low for 8-10 hours until nice and tender and easy to shred. I don’t recommend cooking this on high, it doesn’t get as tender.
