Ingredients List

1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast, trimmed
½ medium onion, diced
½ cup dark brown sugar
⅓ cup soy sauce
10 cloves garlic
1 medium jalapeno pepper, diced (Optional)
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
16 (6 inch) corn tortillas (Optional)

Cooking Instructions

Place the chuck roast in a slow cooker and add onion, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, jalapeño, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork—about 10 hours on Low or 8 hours on High.

Transfer the cooked roast to a cutting board and use two forks to shred the meat. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and stir it into the flavorful juices.

Serve the shredded beef with warm corn tortillas.

Chef’s Tip

Sometimes, I replace the ginger and diced jalapeño with 2 tablespoons of garlic-chile paste for an extra kick. You can adjust the heat level by adding more paste, depending on your preference. We love a good amount of spice!

For a delicious topping, mix a bag of shredded coleslaw with thinly sliced cucumbers and carrots. Season the slaw with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
