Ingredients

2 pound chuck roast, trimmed and cubed

2 tablespoons oil

1 small onion, diced, 2 1/2 ounces

4 ounces canned chopped green chiles

14 ounces beef broth

14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained

2 jalapeño peppers, chopped

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Tips

* You can skip the thickening step and instead add a 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum to thicken the sauce. This doesn't add any carbs. Additionally, once the meat is browned, the entire recipe can be mixed in a slow cooker, including xanthan gum, and cooked on low for 6-8 hours. The result is nearly indistinguishable from the stove top method.

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.
