SHREDDED TRI-TIP FOR TACOS IN THE SLOW COOKER



Shredded Tri-Tip for Tacos in the Slow Cooker image

This is a recipe I created by marrying two together. You can make it as spicy as you like by adding jalapenos or other chiles. I tried it first on my co-workers and there was nothing left! Then I made it for my family and they loved it, too. My Hispanic co-workers really liked it, so I guess I passed the 'test!'

Provided by Wendy Stevens

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 8h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
1 (3 pound) beef tri-tip roast, fat layer left untrimmed
2 teaspoons garlic pepper seasoning (such as SuzyQ's Santa Maria Valley Style Seasoning®), or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 onions, chopped
2 teaspoons ground ancho chile pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 ½ cups white wine
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Season the tri-tip roast with garlic pepper seasoning on both sides.
  • Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and sear the roast on all sides until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Place the tri-tip roast into the slow cooker, fatty side up.
  • Cook and stir the garlic and onions in the hot skillet until golden brown, about 10 minutes, and season with the ancho chile pepper, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Place seasoned garlic and onions over the roast in the cooker, and pour in the white wine and crushed tomatoes. Cover the cooker, set to Low, and cook until tender, about 8 hours.
  • Remove roast from the cooker, and cut off the fatty layer with a sharp knife (tender meat should cut easily). Place the roast back into the cooker, and shred meat with two forks. If desired, remove some of the liquid from the meat. Stir in cilantro and serve.

Tips for Making the Best 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Taco Shredded Beef:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Chuck roast or rump roast are great options for this recipe as they become tender and flavorful when slow-cooked.
  • Season the Beef Generously: Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, and salt to give the beef a bold and authentic Mexican flavor.
  • Use Good Quality Salsa: The salsa is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a flavorful and chunky salsa that you enjoy.
  • Cook on Low and Slow: Cooking the beef on low heat for 8-10 hours allows the flavors to develop and the beef to become fall-apart tender.
