Crock Pot Carne Guisada

Total Time: 6 hrs 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 6 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 -3 lbs rump roast, cubed or 2 -3 lbs chuck roast, whole
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 3 fresh jalapenos, chopped, seeds and stems removed
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste or 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Recipe

• 1 *method 1: if using rump roast, simply place all ingredients into crock pot. whisk corn starch in with a bit of beef stock before adding to the pot.
• 2 cook on low for 6-7 hours.
• 3 for best results, stir all ingredients about 1-2 hours into cooking.
• 4 *method 2: if using chuck roast, brown both sides of the roast in a pot before putting it in the crock pot. my new favorite thing to do is to completely omit the crock pot. i brown the chuck roast in a dutch oven, then add remaining ingredients and cook it in a 300 degree oven for about 4 hours, or until the meat is so tender that it pulls apart easily with a fork.
• 5 the tenderness of method 2 (with dutch oven) is absolutely mouth-watering!
• 6 if using a chuck roast, don't forget to pick out all the pieces of fat before serving. you wouldn't want to bite into a piece of that!
• 7 try it whichever way you like, you won't be disappointed!
