Share:
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 3 to 5 lbs beef chuck roast
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 Tbsp coconut sugar optional
- 2 Tbsp lime juice fresh
Instructions
- Remove the chuck roast from its packaging, pat it dry with a paper towel, and cut it into many large chunks.
- Heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat in a large cast iron skillet. Once sizzling hot, place the chunks of beef roast onto the hot surface of the skillet in a single layer (if need be, complete this step in two batches if there isn’t enough room in your skillet for all of the beef). Sear beef for 3 to 4 minutes on two sides.
- Transfer the seared beef to the crock pot, along with the remaining ingredients. Give everything a stir, then secure the lid on the crock pot.
- Cook on High heat for 4 hours or Low heat for 8 to 10 hours. While the beef slow cooks, you can prepare any side dishes or toppings you'll be using to serve alongside the beef.
- Transfer the beef to a cutting board and use two forks to shred it.
- Place the shredded beef back into the crock pot with the juices and allow it to soak up the juices for at least 10 minutes.
- Use the Mexican shredded beef for tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, enchiladas, tostadas, loaded nachos, taco salads, and more!
Notes
- Include your choice of side dishes and toppings, like Homemade Spanish Rice or cauliflower rice, refried beans, homemade guacamole, salsa, sour cream, black beans, corn tortillas, chopped red onions, pico de gallo, etc.
- Homemade Spanish Rice
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. For the best result, keep all of the juices with the meat rather than draining it.
- Nutrition Facts are calculated based on 6 ounces of shredded beef only - not including any toppings or side dishes.
