Slow Cooker Mexican Style Chuck Roast Food

MEXICAN POT ROAST

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season beef chuck roast with salt and pepper. Cook roast in hot oil until browned entirely, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer browned roast to a slow cooker.
• Sprinkle onion, chile pepper, hot sauce, taco seasoning, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder over the roast.
• Cook on Low until meat is fall-apart tender, 8 to 10 hours.

MEXICAN SHREDDED CHUCK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Cut chuck roast into 3-inch cubes, removing excess fat and connective tissue. Season beef with salt and pepper.
• Heat grapeseed oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Sear cubes of beef a few at a time, until well browned on all sides, about 4 minutes per batch. Reserve browned beef in a bowl. Reduce heat to medium and add onion and garlic. Cook until soft and just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Add 1 cup beef broth to onion mixture and stir well; simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Add beef and pour in guajillo sauce. Add a little beef broth to the empty jar, seal, and shake to release remaining sauce; pour over the beef. Pour in enough of the remaining broth to just cover the beef. Add bay leaves and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Bake in the preheated oven, covered, until beef is fork-tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove beef from sauce and set aside; discard bay leaves. Skim off excess fat from the top of the cooking liquid and bring to a boil to reduce slightly. Shred beef with two forks and return to cooking sauce.

SLOW COOKER MEXICAN MEAT

Steps:

• Put everything in a crock pot.
• (Add enough beef broth to come up to almost 1/2 of the roast). Cook on low for 8-10 hours Take out roast, shred beef and add back to liquid.
• (Before I take out the roast, I usually taste it and add more seasoning if needed. You can add more hot sauce, cayenne pepper if you like it hotter or more cumin).
• Cook for another 30 minutes.
• My husband loves this in tacos, but I like to add refried beans and make burritos out of it.

CHARLEY'S SLOW COOKER MEXICAN STYLE MEAT

Steps:

• Trim the roast of any excess fat, and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the beef in the hot skillet, and brown it quickly on all sides.
• Transfer the roast to a slow cooker and top it with the chopped onion. Season with chile peppers, chili powder, cayenne pepper, hot pepper sauce, and garlic powder. Add enough water to cover 1/3 of the roast.
• 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 of the cooker. Reduce heat to Low, and continue cooking for 2 to 4 hours, or until meat is totally tender and falls apart.
• Transfer the roast to a bowl and shred it using two forks (reserve 2 cups of cooking liquid, if desired). Serve in tacos or burritos (see Cook's Note).

SLOW COOKER CHUCK POT ROAST

Steps:

• Season the check roast with the kosher salt, pepper and thyme.
• Heat you pan.
• Add the canola oil and when it ripples and is hot add in the roast and brown, deeply, for 4-5 minutes on each side. ( Less for smaller roast, and I try to also brown edges in addition to sides). Brown to your liking.
• In your slow cooker add the carrots, potatoes, garlic, celery, spices and onion.
• Lay the beef on top, then add the beef broth and cover, cooking on low for 8-10 hours or 5-6 on high. (I think low is much better, more tender).
• In the last hour mix your cornstarch and water and add it to slow cooker to thicken the sauce or you can take the food out when done cooking and add the leftover liquid to a small saucepan with the cornstarch / water mixture and cook on high for just 2- 3 minutes until the liquid is thickened into gravy.
• Pour the gravy over the meat and garnish with parsley if desired.
