Time 3h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth, divided
1 (12 ounce) bottle Mexican guajillo red chile cooking sauce (such as HerdezĀ®)
3 bay leaves

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.

FLUFFSTER'S LEFTOVER CHUCK ROAST TACO MEAT



Fluffster's Leftover Chuck Roast Taco Meat image

This is soo good! I had about a pound of meat leftover from a really nice chuck roast. So, I shredded it and chopped it and the rest is just the easiest and most delicious meat for whatever you want it to be! Sometimes I make taco meat with Taco Bell dry seasoning and hamburger. I just happened to have some leftover chuck roast, so decided to use it instead of the hamburger. It's very, very good and a little something different. Amounts are questimated. You can make tacos or burritos, soft tacos or even put the filling on a bun and add cheese. These are just a few of the ways you can use this meat filling.

Time 3h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

One 4-pound center-cut boneless chuck roast
Kosher salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, trimmed, peeled and thinly sliced
7 whole cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes, preferably San Marzano
9 bay leaves
1 small bunch fresh cilantro, plus leaves for garnish
Twenty-four 6-inch corn tortillas, toasted
4 cups guacamole
2 cups Simple Salsa, recipe follows
1 cup thinly sliced radishes
1 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes (preferably San Marzano), drained, juice reserved
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
1 small red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 serrano pepper
2 limes, juiced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the chuck roast on all sides with a fair amount of salt. In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot with a tight-fitting cover, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the roast and brown it on all sides, taking the time to get a nice crust on the outside. Remove the roast and set aside.
  • Add the onions and garlic cloves to the pot and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the ancho powder, cumin and cayenne. Add the crushed tomatoes and the bay leaves, and stir. Return the roast to the pot and add the cilantro. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover with lid, place in the oven, and cook until the meat is fork tender, about 3 hours.
  • Carefully transfer the meat to a cutting board and shred with a knife. Pour the liquid into a blender and puree. Return the shredded meat to the pot, add the pureed liquid, and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • To assemble: Lay some shredded beef on a tortilla, and top with guacamole and salsa. Garnish with cilantro leaves, sliced radishes and cotija cheese.
  • Pulse the tomatoes, garlic, red onions, serrano, lime juice, cilantro and some salt and pepper in a food processor. The mixture should be chunky. Add some reserved tomato juice if the salsa is too thick. Drizzle the salsa with olive oil, then cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.
