Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless beef chuck roast
- 2 medium sweet onions, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon coriander powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Marinate the meat: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Coat the beef chuck roast thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- 2. Sear the meat: Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the marinated beef on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove the beef and set aside.
- 3. Cook onions: In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions until translucent (approximately 5 minutes). Return the seared beef to the pan with any remaining marinade.
- 4. Braise: Add enough broth or water to cover halfway up the sides of the roast. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover tightly with a lid, and cook on low heat for about 2 hours or until fork-tender.
- 5. Serve: Slice against the grain and serve with rice or crusty bread, drizzled with pan juices.
