Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups salsa
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
Step 3
Place the seared roast in the bottom of a crock pot (slow cooker).
Step 4
In a medium bowl, mix together salsa, beef broth, ground cumin, chili powder, and lime juice.
Step 5
Pour the salsa mixture over the roast, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Step 6
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. The roast is done when it is fork-tender and easily shreds.
Step 7
Once cooked, shred the beef directly in the crock pot using two forks. Stir to combine the shredded beef with the juices and salsa in the pot.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the top before serving.
Step 9
Serve the salsa roast as a filling for tacos, burritos, or lettuce wraps, or pair it with rice and beans.
