Remove meat and transfer to a slow cooker. 3.Add broth to the skillet and bring to a boil. Add to beef in crock pot 4.Add the Chipotle sauce and set at medium. Allow to simmer for 2 ½ to 3 hours until meat is tender and falling apart. Once meat is cooked thoroughly, gently shred with the back of a fork while still in slow cooker. 5.Warm flour tortillas with 2 tablespoon of cheese on each one in microwave or oven. Add ¼ cup of beef with some sauce on each tortilla. Top with 2 tablespoons of shredded lettuce and 1 tablespoon chopped tomatoes. Fold and serve.
  • - If serving a family of 4, use remaining brisket for other meals; burritos, nachos or etc. - If you desire, chopped onion and minced garlic can be added when you brown the brisket. - You can omit the vegetable oil and heat or 'render' fat in a large, heavy skillet until it browns and liquid fat covers the bottom of the skillet, then brown the beef in the rendered fat. - An authentic method of thickening the sauce that the beef is cooked in is to crush Mission(R) Round Tortilla Chips in a blender with some of the stock the beef has been cooked in. Add that mixture back to the sauce and heat to thicken. - Serve these tacos with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

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 great choices for shredded beef because they are tough cuts that become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Sear the beef before braising: Searing the beef adds flavor and helps to brown the meat.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the beef its flavor, so use a combination of flavorful ingredients like beef broth, chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
  • Cook the beef until it is fall-apart tender: The beef should be cooked until it is very tender and easily shredded.
  • Shred the beef with two forks: Use two forks to shred the beef into small pieces.

Conclusion:

Chipotle shredded beef is a versatile dish that can be used in tacos, burritos, and other Mexican-inspired dishes. It is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is sure to please everyone at your table. So, next time you are looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give this chipotle shredded beef recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
