Chipotle Shredded Beef for Tacos or Burritos image

A crockpot can really be so useful for the busy cook and I've always said that all you need is a handful of reliable slow cooker recipes to get you past your most busy times. Besides, think of the money that would be spent on take-out. This particular dish produces a good homemade meal and perhaps better than a restaurant. Here are a variety of accompaniments: flour tortillas or taco shells, lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, cheese, lime, cilantro or pico de gallo.

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 8h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
2 lbs boneless beef chuck
1 teaspoon chili powder (chipotle or ancho works well)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt
1 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 chipotle chile in adobo, minced (adding a little of the sauce)
1/2 large onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, combine the chili powder, cumin. smoked paprika and salt in a small bowl.
  • Rub the spice mix into the beef, covering each side evenly. Once the oil is hot, place the beef in the skillet and sear on each side. Do NOT MOVE the meat while it cooks for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the beef from the skillet and place in the bottom of a slow cooker. Leave the pan on the heat and add in the beef stock to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomato paste and minced chipotle and whisk into the pan sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
  • Add the diced onion and minced garlic on top of the seared beef in the slow cooker. Pour the pan sauce over the onions, garlic and beef. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until fork tender.
  • Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onions from the slow cooker and mix into the shredded beef.

Tips

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or brisket are both good choices for this recipe, as they are tough cuts that will become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Trim the beef of excess fat: This will help to reduce the greasiness of the final dish.
  • Sear the beef before cooking: This will help to brown the meat and add flavor.
  • Use a slow cooker or Dutch oven: This will allow the beef to cook slowly and evenly.
  • Add plenty of liquid: The beef should be covered with liquid, so that it doesn't dry out.
  • Use a variety of spices: The chipotle peppers, cumin, and oregano in this recipe add a lot of flavor. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as chili powder, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Cook the beef until it is fall-apart tender: This will take at least 8 hours on low in a slow cooker, or 3-4 hours on low in a Dutch oven.
  • Shred the beef: Once the beef is cooked, use two forks to shred it into small pieces.
  • Serve the beef with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Conclusion

Chipotle shredded beef is a delicious and versatile dish that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be served as a taco filling, burrito filling, or enchilada filling. It can also be used in quesadillas, nachos, or salads. No matter how you serve it, chipotle shredded beef is sure to be a hit!
