Ingredients

• 2-3 chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/2 tablespoon tomato paste
• 6 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (3 pound) boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a Dutch oven, stir together ketchup, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper, plus 1 cup of water.
Cut beef into 4 equal sized pieces and place in Dutch oven. Turn meat to coat it in the liquid. Place on stove and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once mixture comes to a boil, cover with lid and place in the oven. Bake until beef is tender and can be shredded with 2 forks, about 2½ hours.
