Ingredients

• Carne Asada:
• 2 cups vegetable stock or broth
• 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 2 chipotle peppers
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 4 pounds beef round roast
• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
• Green Salsa:
• 2 poblano peppers
• 4 tomatillos, chopped
• 2 avocados, halved, pitted and flesh diced
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/4 bunch cilantro, leaves chopped
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• Pinch salt and freshly cracked black pepper, plus more for seasoning
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Preparation

Step 1

Add the vegetable stock, tomatoes, chipotle peppers, onions and garlic to a Dutch oven and stir to combine.


In small bowl, combine the cumin, chili powder, salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef so that it is evenly coated. Put the seasoned beef into the Dutch oven and cover. Braise in the oven until the meat is fork tender, about 3 hours. Remove the beef from the pot and put it into a baking dish. Shred with 2 forks and drizzle with some of the braising liquid to keep the meat moist. Cover with some aluminum foil until ready to serve
