Season the Meat: Take your 3 lbs of chuck roast and season both sides evenly with the Spanglish Beef Birria Seasoning. Ensure that the seasoning covers all parts of the meat for full flavor.
Prepare the Dutch Oven: Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to become hot but not smoking.
Sear the Roast: Place the seasoned chuck roast in the hot Dutch oven. Sear each side of the roast until it is browned. This should take about 4-5 minutes per side. Browning the meat helps to lock in flavor and create a delicious crust.
Add Garlic and Onions
Add Beef Stock: Pour 3 cups of beef stock into the Dutch oven, ensuring the liquid covers the meat partially. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cook the Birria: Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the beef to cook slowly for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Stir occasionally and check the liquid levels, adding more stock if necessary to keep the roast partially submerged.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the beef is tender, remove it from the Dutch oven and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the Dutch oven to soak up any remaining juices and flavors. Serve the Spanglish Beef Birria warm, with your favorite sides like tortillas, rice, beans and more!
