Prep:20minCook:3h

Recipe video above. This is how I make Mexican Shredded Beef. The sauce is rich, thick and full of flavor, and the beef is very tender and juicy. I use this shredded beef for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and even to make sliders - see in post for list of ideas and directions!

The recipe does need a little spice and extra salt. Added some Serrano and it slaps

It’s not bad, but it’s also not the best taco beef I’ve made. There’s a lot of broth, which is great if you’re making bowls rather than actual tacos, and it definitely needed a little extra salt added to it at the end. Family said they liked it though, and it was gobbled down.

Was good but not spicy enough and I'm a mild spice foodie. So I added a jalapeño. Lots of leftover sauce.

Very tasty! I ran out of smoked paprika, so I subbed with Chipotle powder. I seared in my dutch oven then baked at 325⁰ for 2.5 hrs. It absorbed most of the liquid, so next time, I will increase the broth to 3 cups.

Definitely reduce the sauce down, slow cooked it for 8 hours on medium heat, took the sauce out and reduce and kept the meat on high heat for 3 hours. 100% will make again

Reduce liquid and put in the slow cooker

This is so flavorful! We cooked the meat and froze it to have something quick and easy on hand for a family vacation. It made delicious nachos and tacos. This will be a staple in our house and freezer!

My extremely picky husband actually requested we have this one in rotation. I blend the onion in (so he doesn't know its there) and toss in the powercooker.

Moved from my home of 59 years in Southern California to Virginia where most Mexican Restaurant food has absolutely no flavor... This recipe packs a punch of flavor, nice heat and a taste of home! Yummy!
