Pulled Beef for Tacos Recipe

Pulled Beef for Tacos Recipe 

This is not your average taco. This Pulled Beef for Tacos Recipe was so good I almost ate the beef roast before it got into the taco shells. Included here is the basic recipe for the slow cooker pulled beef; I have pretty much left it up to you; to top it, with your desired condiments. I used the standard toppings consisting of, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, salsa, and topped it with shredded provolone cheese. This is a mildly seasoned recipe, so season it to taste if you want to turn up the heat. Another nice feature about this recipe is, you can set it and forget it, because it’s a slow cooker recipe. Treat your family to this Pulled Beef for Tacos Recipe; you and your family will love it. Enjoy

Recipe Type: Main
Author: Admin
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 8 hours
Total time: 8 hours 10 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 (2 lb.) boneless beef roast
  • 1 Tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
  • 3/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley
  • 2 teaspoon chili powder (I use a hot version)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
Instructions
  1. Heat a large, over medium high heat, and add the oil. Sprinkle the
  2. Beef roast liberally with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the roast to the pan and
  3. brown on all sides.
  4. Place in the Crock pot or slow cooker.
  5. Using the same pan, add the onion and cook for about 2 minutes before stirring in the garlic and tomato paste. After another minute, stir in the beef broth and spices along with any browned beef scraps left in the pan.
  6. Then pour the seasoned broth and onions over the top of the roast.
  7. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Remove the roast, and shred with a fork. Then return the shredded beef to the slow cooker
  8. (To soak up any extra liquid, you can turn the slow cooker or Crock pot to high for a little bit after shredding the beef.-I did not find this step necessary, but it might depend on the beef cut.)
