slow cooker mexican beef pot roast

November 8, 2017 by Lovoni | 2 Comments

Let’s just start this post with a disclaimer shall we: Slow Cooker Mexican Beef Pot Roast probably isn’t very Mexican as its name suggests. Although its flavors are reminiscent of the Mexican cuisine & it was inspired by the breeder I bought my beautiful Mango from in Tijuana & he is 100% Mexican. We became friends & he made me something similar in taste & texture to this recipe but with lamb.

Don’t you just love this time of year when you can utilize the slow cooker? Serve the pot roast family-style with some warm tortillas & all the fixin’s. Or do as I do & break the beef it into chunks, portion it & freeze it. I then make nachos with it for one meal. Or a quick beef chili with some kidney beans. Of course it’s perfect in tacos. Also on tostadas piled high with tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream & such. It’s also fabulous served with polenta or mashed potatoes. Or just keep it simple & enjoy it with some fresh greens, avocado & a little queso fresco.

Of course if you’re eating anything remotely Mexican then I insist you have a margarita to wash it all down. Maybe even two. Cheers for now, Lovoni xo

Ingredients
  1. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  2. 3 lb (1.4kg) chuck beef pot roast, large chunks of fat removed
  3. 1 large red onion, diced
  4. 2 large carrots, diced
  5. 4 garlic cloves, minced
  6. 1 tablespoon chili powder
  7. 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  8. 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  9. 1 teaspoon salt
  10. 1 cup salsa (homemade or store-bought)
  11. 14oz (400g) can diced tomatoes, drained
  12. 2 to 3 diced fresh jalapenos
  13. 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  14. 2 tablespoons lime juice
  15. Sliced avocado, diced red onion, cilantro, lime wedges, sliced jalapeno, queso fresco (or feta cheese), to serve
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Brown the roast on both sides for about 5 minutes or until golden; remove from pan and place in a large slow cooker.
  2. Add onion, carrots, garlic, chili powder, paprika & cumin to the same pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until spices are fragrant; add to slow cooker.
  3. Add salt, salsa, tomatoes & jalapenos. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours (or on high for 6 hours) or until meat is very tender & can be pulled apart with forks but still holds its shape.
  4. Sprinkle cilantro & lime juice over meat.
  5. Break meat into pieces to serve. Serve with the juice mixture from the slow cooker. Top with avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime wedges, sliced jalapeno & queso if desired. Serves 6 to 8.
Notes
  1. The pot roast can be made ahead of time: Let the pot roast cool & store in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. Scrape any fat from the top before reheating either in the slow cooker or microwave oven.

Some foods’ appearance beguiles the taste & text Some foods’ appearance beguiles the taste & texture. This is one such dish. Super Crunchy Herb, Lemon & Parmesan Chicken served with a lemony, garlic, caper butter. Breaded chicken & fish are favorites of mine. Served simply with some sea salt & lemon wedges or with this lemony butter sauce. Serve with creamy mashed potato & steamed green beans & call me; I’ll be there! I’ll even bring wine xo

Happy March 1st. The start to a new month needs ca Happy March 1st. The start to a new month needs cake - One Bowl Banana Cake with Caramel Drizzle. There’s something warm & comforting about this cake, especially today. Spring briefly revealed herself to us this past weekend & then she slinked back into the abyss.  Soon. 
Meanwhile I’m still wanting warm & comforting foods making use of the seasonal foods. What are you excited to make as the seasons transition?

Oxtail in Red Wine: when I first added this to my Oxtail in Red Wine: when I first added this to my website & shared it on Pinterest, I almost blew up my Pinterest account. It was so popular. I was shocked. Really I made it for my husband a couple of times and the recipe was so nice I had to share. I thought here the words “ox tail” might turn people away. I was wrong, quite the opposite. Nowadays it’s beef tail not ox because oxen numbers, as far as I’m aware, have been on the decline and is the reason for beef tails being used but they’re still referred to as ox tail.
