Instructions
Step 1: Sear the Beef (Optional, But Recommended)
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Sear the beef chunks for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
- Transfer to the slow cooker.
Step 2: Add the Flavorful Ingredients
- Add onions, garlic, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, beef broth, diced tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, and all the seasonings into the slow cooker.
- Stir everything together to evenly coat the beef with the flavorful sauce.
Step 3: Slow Cook Until Tender
