" SPICY SHREDDED BEEF "

2 - 1/2 pounds boned beef chuck
1 can ( 14 -1/2 oz. ) chopped tomatoes
1 can ( 7 oz. ) chipotle sauce, or 7 ounces salsa
1 can ( 4 oz. ) diced jalapeno, drained
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons ground dried New Mexico chile or regular chili powder
1 tablespoon honey
2 - 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups beef broth

Rinse beef and trim off excess fat. Put in a slow-cooker (at least 5 qt.). Add tomatoes (with juice), chipotle sauce or salsa, jalapeƱos, onion, garlic, ground chile, honey, salt, and cumin; pour broth over the top.

Cover and cook on low until beef is very tender when pierced, 8 to 10 hours. If desired, remove lid for last 30 minutes to allow sauce to reduce and thicken.

With a heavy fork, transfer meat to a rimmed board or plate. Shred with two forks. Ladle out half the sauce and reserve (see notes). Return shredded beef to the remaining sauce in slow-cooker, cover, and let warm. Serve in sandwiches.

Notes: A little like a Mexican sloppy Joe, this juicy dish is best sandwiched in crusty French rolls and topped with shredded cabbage, red onion, sliced tomato, cilantro, and sour cream. Save extra sauce to top Mexican rice or cooked pinto beans.

Yields: 6 to 8 servings

  14. My husband doesn't eat red meat so I don't cook it but this looks great. I bet it would work well with pork.
