Instructions
Ready to get cookin’? Let’s dive right in!
- Start by seasoning that beef chuck roast generously with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Make sure to give it some love!
- Next, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on each side until it gets that nice brown color—about 3-4 minutes per side. This step is crucial for all that flavor to come through.
- Once the beef is all browned, transfer it to your slow cooker. Throw in those sliced onions, minced garlic, and chopped jalapeño. It’s about to get real fragrant in here!
- Pour the beef broth over everything. It’s like providing a cozy bath for your meat!
- Cover that slow cooker and let it work its magic. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Can you smell it already?
- When it’s done, shred the beef using two forks—it should fall apart easily. Mix it all up with the juicy goodness left in the cooker.
- Serve this succulent beef with warm tortillas, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and any other toppings that tickle your fancy—think avocado, cheese, or salsa!
There you have it! Simple, easy, and oh-so-satisfying. Enjoy your Slow Cooker Beef Machaca, and share it with your loved ones. Good food is meant to be shared, after all!
