Ingredients
-
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 Herdez®)
-
3 bay leaves
Directions
-
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 beef. Pour in enough of remaining broth to cover 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 cooking liquid and bring to a boil to reduce slightly. Shred beef with two forks and return to cooking sauce.
Cook’s Note
Alternately, this can be cooked on low in a slow cooker for 6 to 8 hours, though I do recommend searing the beef and cooking the onion mixture on the stovetop. I would also reduce the amount of beef broth by half if using a slow cooker.
