Cuban-Style Shredded Beef
Here is an easy recipe that spices chuck roast up a bit.
Ingredients |
6 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 lb. Homestead Chuck Roast
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 chilies diced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro + more for garnish (I LOVE cilantro)
How to Make this Deliciousness |
In a skillet heat oil and garlic, sear roast until brown on each side. Since I like to keep things simple, slice, dash and dump all the other ingredients in your crockpot and mix. Add your roast into the crockpot and cover with sauce.
Cook on low for 8 hours. Shred and serve over rice or in a tortilla shell.
I'd love to share an amazing compliment to this recipe. Cuban-style beans. I admit this is almost the best part of the pair and they are SO SIMPLE.
Ingredients |
1 tablespoon oil
1 medium red onion, diced
1 jalapeños, seeded and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin (I love this spice and I think an extra dash is delicious)
1 teaspoon chili powder
3 tablespoons cilantro
3 limes juiced
How to Make this Deliciousness |
Heat oil in a saucepan and saute the red onion and jalapeños until soft. Dice, mince and dump all the ingredients into the pan. Heat the beans, garnish with extra cilantro and serve. Yes, it's that simple and again so delicious.
Serve on the side of your cuban-style beef.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as Matt and I did. Who knew that a simple chuck roast could be so tasty.
