Shredded Beef for Tacos

SUBMITTED BY: DPULLIAM

"This is the easiest meal you'll ever make. Being a mom of 8 and working I wanted to find something I can make for dinner with no effort. Start your roast in the morning before going to work it will be done when you get home. You don't even have to defrost the roast. If it is a defrosted roast, put it in around noon, it will be done at 5pm. I've had so many people ask for my recipe, and this is the first time I've let it out of my kitchen. Serve with corn tortillas, lettuce, cheese, and any other toppings you prefer."

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (4 pound) frozen rump roast
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 (7.75 ounce) cans Mexican style hot tomato sauce
  • 3 tablespoons crushed garlic
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the frozen roast in the slow cooker. Pour the wine and Mexican style hot tomato sauce over the top. Season with garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Cover, and cook on Low for 9 hours. When done, the roast should shred easily with a fork. Shred the roast into the juices, and mix in the chopped green onions and cilantro.

Turned out wonderfully. I used a bottle of Corona instead of white wine. I also recommend adding just enough water to cover the roast completely. Great recipe.

Yes, you really do put it in frozen! Chuck roasts work too, but NOT English-cut roasts (too fatty). This is just excellent, a favorite of our family - which includes 2 toddlers. I do modify it: skip the wine, use a 16 oz jar of mild salsa (Paul Newman is best!), skip the garlic & S&P since these are in the salsa. Then I increase the cilantro to use the entire bunch. The first couple of times I did this with rump & chuck roasts and they just fell apart with a fork easily shredding it. Sometimes I add a can of black beans, rinsed, to increase the protein (I'm crazy that way). Leftovers are great in other "All Recipes" like Beef Enchiladas II with Sara's Red Enchilada Sauce or in Six Can Chicken Tortilla Soup (can substitute your leftovers for the can of chicken and some of the broth if you have lots). Just a great recipe. Highly recommend!

I have to review this amazing recipe! I had never so much as touched a rump roast before, so if I could do it, anyone can!! It was so easy and tasted incredible. The only things I added were some whole black peppercorns and chopped jalapenos (since we LOVE spicy.) Oh, and for those who couldn't find the Mexican tomato sauce, they had it at Pathmark in the Mexican food section (near salsa) in a yellow can in Spanish writing. Give this one a try!
