Here's a no bullshit recipe for mexican shredded beef, that you can turn into soup, tacos, sandwiches, enchiladas. Whatever the fuck you want. If you have a pressure cooker, that also works.
You need:
32 oz of beef stock
1 4 pound roast
1 yellow onion
1 tomato
1 can of chipotle peppers (optional for heat)
Salt
Garlic powder
Cumin powder
>Get a 4 lb roast (beef)
>Cut into 4 or 5 equal chunks
>Season each piece with salt and garlic powder
>marinate overnight (this is important don't skip this part)
Next day
>heat up large, deep skillet
>add half a stick of butter (salted or non-salted, doesn't matter)
>dice half a yellow onion and one large tomato
>throw in pan
>mash the tomato while it's cooking
>add some salt and a tablespoon of cumin powder
>mix until the tomatos and onions are kind of like a paste
>add 16 oz of beef stock
>let it simmer for like 5 minutes
>add the rest of the beef stock
>let it simmer for another 20 minutes
>throw the roast chunks in a slow cooker or a pressure cooker
>throw the soup you just made on top of it
>add Half a TABLESPOON of cumin powder (1.5 tablespoons total, trust me don't fuck this part up)
>slow cook that shit for like 3 hours on high heat
>take out the roast
>shred it
>put it back in
>slow cook it for another hour
This shit will impress anybody. You can add chipotle peppers if you want heat, too.
You can also just add one or two vegetables that you like and eat it as soup.
