Mexican Pot Roast for Tacos by Tyler Florence image

This meat is tender, delicious and spicy! I'm sure this meat could also be cooked in a crock-pot if you didn't want to "babysit" it on the stove.

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs beef shoulder
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 large onion, sliced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (recommended ( San Marzano)
1 tablespoon dried ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Season all sides of the beef with a fair amount of salt and pepper.
  • In a large Dutch oven, or other heavy pot that has a tight cover, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over moderately high heat.
  • Add the garlic and the beef to the pot, browning the meat on all sides, taking the time to get a nice crust on the outside.
  • Add the onion and allow to lightly brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, plus 1 tomato can of water, spices, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add enough water to cover the meat.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer with a lid for 3 hours, or until the meat is fork tender.
  • Let meat cool some in the liquid.
  • Shred meat and place in store bought taco shells, make your own taco shells, or even roll up in warm flour tortillas.
  • Garnish with lettuce, cheese and chopped tomatoes--if desired.

This was a great recipe! The beef was so tender and the salsa verde was the perfect complement. I served it with rice and beans and it was a perfect meal.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The meat was very tender and flavorful, and the salsa verde was very flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less jalapeños next time.

I've tried many pot roast recipes, but this one is by far the best. The beef is always so tender and juicy, and the salsa verde is the perfect finishing touch. I highly recommend this recipe!

This was an okay recipe. The meat was tender, but I found the salsa verde to be a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more traditional Mexican sauce.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found that the meat was a bit dry. Overall, I was disappointed with this recipe.

This was a great recipe! The only thing I would change is to add more spice. I like my food spicy, so I would probably add a few more jalapeños or a serrano pepper next time.
