Spicy Shredded Beef

Feb 11, 2013

I made this recipe last week and it is really good. My mom makes a recipe for shredded beef (on my blog at http://www.mybigfatfoodie.com). I grew up on the stuff. Yesterday I was looking for a crock pot recipe but couldn't find anything that piqued my interest so I created one based loosely on my mom's recipe and my desire for spicy foods lately.

I threw all of this together in about 25 mins so it goes together fast and is done in 6 to 8 hours.

2lbs of chuck roast (trim the fat)

1 Can of Rotel (I used Hot, but you can use mild or regular to get the core flavor)

1/2 Jar of Hot Fire Roasted Salsa (here again use the heat level you like and any salsa would work)

1 Jalapeno Pepper

1 Pablano Pepper

1 Sweet Onion

6 Cloves of Garlic

I started off by seasoning the meat with my favorite steak seasoning. I skinned the onion and chopped the ends off. I brushed all the veggies with olive oil. Everything went on the grill until the meat was just browned on the outside. The veggies softened.

I put the meat in the crock pot, covered with the Rotel and salsa. I chopped up the veggies and garlic and threw them in too. Give it a little stir and turn the crock pot on low. Cook until the meat starts to fall apart (about 6 hours and as much as 8). Shred up the Beef with two forks.
