Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 pieces large onions
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 pieces bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting dry the beef chuck roast with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help in achieving a good sear.

Step 2

Season the beef generously with salt and ground black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Peel and slice the onions into thin half-moons and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the beef chuck roast and sear on all sides until well browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. This helps lock in the juices.

Step 7

Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside on a plate.

Step 8

In the same pot, add the sliced onions and sauté over medium heat until they become golden and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 9

Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 10

Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

Step 11

Return the seared beef to the pot, nestling it among the onions. Add the bay leaves.

Step 12

Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 13

Reduce the heat to low and cook for approximately 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is incredibly tender and easy to shred with a fork.

Step 14

Transfer the beef to a large cutting board and shred it using two forks. Discard any fatty pieces.

Step 15

Return the shredded beef back to the pot and stir to combine with the onion sauce.

Step 16

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 17

Serve hot over rice, in tacos, or in sandwiches. Enjoy your aromatic and flavorful shredded meat with onions!
