Ingredients

• 3 lbs Beef chuck roast
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 1.5 cups Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 2 leaves Bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season it generously on all sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the beef roast on all sides until a deep, golden-brown crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Cook for 1-2 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits for added flavor.

Step 8

Return the beef roast to the pot, ensuring it is partially submerged in the liquid. Add the bay leaves.

Step 9

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shredded.

Step 10

Remove the pot from the oven and let the beef rest for 10-15 minutes.

Step 11

Using two forks, shred the beef directly in the pot, mixing it with the flavorful juices. Discard the bay leaves before serving.

Step 12

Serve the shredded beef warm with your preferred sides, in tacos, or on sandwich rolls.
