Ingredients

• 2 T vegetable oil
• 1 lb lean beef chuck, trimmed and cut into 1” cubes
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 (16 oz) can diced tomatoes

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in everyday pan. Brown beef cubes for 10-12 minutes.

Reduce the heat, add the garlic, salt and cumin. Cook another 15 minutes.

Add the can of tomatoes and heat to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Add water to the pan as needed to keep the mixture from boiling dry.

When cooked very tender, cool, then shred the meat using 2 forks. Place back on heat and stir until most of the liquid is evaporated.

If planning to freeze, cool before packing in freezer bags and placing in freezer. For soft burritos, top a warm flour tortilla with the meat mixture, salsa, and grated cheese.
