Ingredients

• 3 lbs Beef chuck roast
• 3 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Adobo sauce from chipotle can
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Rub the seasoning thoroughly over the meat.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic cloves and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Mix in the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, ground cumin, oregano, beef broth, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Return the seared roast to the pot, ensuring it is partially submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot with a lid or foil.

Step 7

Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and cook for 4-5 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and easily shredded.

Step 8

Remove the roast from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and mix it with the cooking liquid to incorporate the flavors.

Step 9

Serve the chipotle roast warm in tacos, sandwiches, or over rice with your choice of toppings (like guacamole, sour cream, or pickled onion). Enjoy!
