Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lb. beef chuck roast
- 1 T Kalyn’s Taco Seasoning
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 2 cans (4 oz. can) diced green chiles with juice
- 1 small head green cabbage
- 1/2 small head red cabbage
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
- 6 T mayo
- 4 tsp. fresh squeezed lime juice
- 2 tsp. Green Tabasco Sauce
- 2 large avocados, diced
- 1 medium Poblano (Pasilla) pepper, diced very small
- 1 T fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 1 T extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Trim all visible fat and any undesirable parts from the chuck roast and cut into thick strips. Save scraps for homemade beef stock.
- Rub strips of beef with taco seasoning. Heat oil in a large frying pan and brown beef well on all sides.
- Put the browned beef strips in a slow cooker; pour in diced green chiles and juice.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until beef shreds apart easily. Alternatively, cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Once beef is done, remove it to a cutting board, leaving liquid in the slow cooker. Shred beef with two forks and return to slow cooker to absorb liquid and keep warm.
- Cut cabbage into very thin strips. Use a Mandoline Slicer or cut by hand. Slice green onions.
- Whisk together mayo, lime juice, and Green Tabasco Sauce to make the dressing. Taste and adjust as necessary.
- Combine cabbage and green onions in a bowl and toss with dressing.
- Peel and chop avocado, toss with lime juice; combine with chopped cilantro and Poblano chile. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently.
- Assemble the bowl starting with slaw, followed by a generous amount of spicy beef, topped with avocado salsa. Serve with extra Green Tabasco if desired.
Notes
- Adjust taco seasoning according to preference.
- For pressure cooker version, see directions for additional beef stock.
- Only dress the amount of cabbage you’ll be using for leftovers; refrigerate separately, and warm beef when ready to serve.
