Ingredients:
3-4 pound chuck roast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
4 carrots, sliced into large chunks
4 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup salsa (choose your preferred level of spiciness)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust for spice)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, then remove it from the pot.
In the same pot, add the chopped onions and garlic. Sauté until they become translucent.
Return the roast to the pot and add the beef broth, salsa, ground cumin, chili powder, and minced jalapeño. The liquid should cover about two-thirds of the roast.
Cover the pot and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for about 3-4 hours or until the roast is tender. You can also cook it on the stovetop over low heat if you prefer.
Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot about 1 hour before the roast is done. They will cook in the flavorful Tex-Mex liquid.
Remove the pot from the oven once the meat and vegetables are tender. Remove the roast and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the Tex-Mex pot roast with the vegetables and some of the cooking liquid as a deliciously spicy and savory gravy. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of freshness. Add some tortilla chips, avocado, and ENJOY!!
