SLOW COOKER SHREDDED BEEF

 

This is a great recipe for a weeknight dinner and this beef is amazing in tacos, burritos, quesadillas or layered on some nachos! This recipe is PACKED with flavor! I put mine on some corn tortillas with shredded cheese! I also get lots of questions regarding the size of my crock pot! This recipe will work in other size ones, but for reference mine is a 6 qt! 

Ingredients:

• 3.5-4 lb chuck roast (boneless)
• 1/2 cup beef broth 
• 2 tbsp tomato paste 
• Optional: 1 lime (juiced)

Dry Rub Spices:

• 2 tbsp chili powder 
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt 
• 2 tsp cumin 
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika 
• 1 tsp ground black pepper 
• Optional: 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 

Directions: 

1. Place your roast in your crock pot 
2. In a bowl mix together your spices (chili powder, onion powder, salt, cumin, garlic powder, paprika & black pepper)
3. Sprinkle each side of your roast with your spice rub mixture and rub it in
4. Measure out your beef broth & tomato paste; mix well
5. Pour beef broth mixture over your roast 
6. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours (I recommend cooking on low for 8, as it really makes the beef tender)
7. Shred it up and let it sit in the crock pot to absorb the juices a bit before serving 
8. I served mine on corn tortillas but you can serve this with/on anything of your choice!
