By jenniferj

Leftovers make great shredded tacos.

Ingredients

• 5 lbs. chuck roast
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• juice of 1/2 fresh lime
• 9 garlic cloves, peeled
• course ground pepper to taste
• 1/4 c balsamic vinegar
• 2 T favorite hot sauce
• 2 T dried oregano
• 3 T worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 c red wine
• 1 T coriander
• 2 T dried tarragon
• 2 T dijon
• 3 T maple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Choose a roasting pan that will fit the roast snugly. Cover bottom of pan with rings of sliced onion; place roast on onion rings. Pour lime juice over meat. Insert garlic cloves into slits cut into top of roast.

In a separate bowl whisk all remaining ingredients except pepper and pour over meat. Cover the roast with a generous sprinkling of pepper. Cover the pan and bake at 275 degrees for up to 6 hours; turn roast over after half of cooking time. Meat is done when it shreds with a fork. Left overs make great shredded beef tacos.
