Ingredients
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ pounds beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch thick slices
1 cup beef stock
salt to taste
Directions
Whisk vegetable oil, vinegar, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, and garlic together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add beef, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
Remove bag with beef from refrigerator; bring to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Transfer beef and marinade to a large baking dish. Add beef stock; cover dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until beef is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Rest 10 minutes; shred with 2 forks. Drain and discard about 80% of liquid from beef; season with salt.
Tip:
Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.
