Mexican Shredded Beef
- 4 lbs chuck roast
- 4 ounces green chili peppers, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 12 teaspoon dried oregano
- 12 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- salt
- 7 12 ounces beef broth (1/2 can)
- Trim the roast of any excess fat, and season with all ingredients listed above.
- Marinate to your liking (2 hours to 3 days, I usually leave it 3 days so the flavors are all through the meat).
- Just wrap the roast (after its been marinated and before you put it in the crockpot) in tinfoil.
- Place roast in foil large enough to enclose the meat.
- It won't float because the roast is heavy.
- The tinfoil is to keep the meat tender.
- Cover and cook on High for 6 hours, checking to make sure there is always at least a small amount of liquid in the bottom.
- Remove foil and reduce heat to Low.
- when you take the foil off the meat might not be ready to shred.
- just keep cooking for a few hours until you can take a fork and shred the beef.
- Continue cooking for 2 to 4 hours, or until meat is totally tender and falls apart.
