Below are my results in pictures.
before put on rub on the meat, I trimmed some excess fat on the meat. then I grilled the beef on each side for 3 minutes on my cast iron grilling pan. then I placed the grilled meat in the slow cooker to cook.
Note:
I added a 1 teaspoon of sea salt on my rub( not part of the recipe).
while my meat was cooking, I started on the sauce. Sauteed my diced onion and olive oil on a medium pan for 3 minutes. after that I add 3 clovers of garlic (I love my garlic) to cook for a 1 minute with the onions. I added chicken stock that is what I had on hand instead of beef stock. Added some tomato paste and 3 tablespoon of
which I found at my local Sprouts. I couldn't find (minced chipotle or ground chipotle).
Note:
I added some sea salt to taste ( this wasn't part of the recipe). brought the sauce to a boil and I left it to simmer for 5 minutes till it has thickened.
Poured the sauce on top of the meat and let it cook for 8 hour on low.
8 hours later. I had to drain some of the oil that was on top of the meat sauce.
I Shred the beef with two forks as recommended on the recipe. then pour the cooked meat sauce on top of the meat.
Time to eat:
I ate my meat with rice and some homemade pico de gallo and slices of avocado.
I made tacos with my leftovers.
Enjoy!!
