Time 2h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound lean beef chuck, trimmed and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet. Brown beef cubes for 10 to 12 minutes. Reduce the heat, add the garlic, salt and cumin. Cook another 15 minutes.
  • Add the can of tomatoes and heat to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add water to the skillet as needed to keep the mixture from boiling dry.
  • When cooked very tender, cool, then shred the meat using 2 forks. Place back on heat and stir until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • If planning to freeze, cool before packing in freezer bags and placing in freezer.
  • For soft burritos, top a warm flour tortilla with the meat mixture, salsa, and grated cheese.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still very flavorful and delicious.
