Time 2h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds beef chuck roast
¼ cup water
1 ½ cups beef broth
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Place roast in a large saucepan that has a tight-fitting lid. Pour in water, cover, and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Increase heat to medium/high, and brown the roast on all sides.

Place shredded beef back into the saucepan with all the juices, and let cool to room temperature.
