Ingredients
2 pound chuck roast, trimmed and cubed2 tablespoons oil1 small onion, diced, 2 1/2 ounces4 ounces canned chopped green chiles14 ounces beef broth14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained2 jalapeņo peppers, chopped2 tablespoons chili powder1 teaspoon garlic powder1 teaspoon onion powder1 teaspoon cuminSalt and pepper, to taste
Directions
In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. I used my 8-quart Dutch oven which was much larger than necessary to hold all of the ingredients. Using a larger pot gave me more surface area so I was able to brown the meat in a single layer. Brown the beef on all sides. Add all of the remaining ingredients; bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 2 hours or until the beef is very tender. Remove the lid and raise the heat.* Simmer until the liquid has thickened, about 10 minutes. Serve in low carb tortillas or over chopped lettuce, if desired. Top with whatever you like from cheese and sour cream to guacamole, etc.
