Preparation

Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Sear each side for about 3–4 minutes until browned. This step locks in the flavors!

  5. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, carrots, and potatoes around the beef.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and any remaining salt and pepper.
  7. Pour this mixture over the roast in the slow cooker.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
Serving
  1. Once done, shred the beef with two forks and mix it back in with the vegetables and juices.
  2. Serve with rice or fresh bread.
