A flavorful and easy-to-make shredded beef recipe perfect for tacos, burritos, or any Mexican-inspired dish.
Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Slicing the onion thinly ensures it cooks evenly and adds flavor to the beef.
Add the beef roast on top of the onion.
Ensure the beef roast fits snugly in the slow cooker for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, lime juice, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Mix well.
Mixing the spices and liquids thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Pour the mixture over the beef roast in the slow cooker.
Pouring the mixture evenly over the beef ensures it absorbs all the flavors.
Cook on low heat for 8 hours.
Cooking on low heat allows the beef to become tender and flavorful.
Remove the beef roast from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Shredding the beef while it's warm makes the process easier.
Mix the shredded beef with some of the reserved cooking liquid to achieve the desired consistency.
Adding the cooking liquid back to the beef keeps it moist and flavorful.
Serve the shredded beef as a filling for tacos, burritos, or other dishes. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serving with fresh garnishes enhances the presentation and flavor.
