🛒 Ingredients

8 servings

8
  • 2.2 lbs (1 kg) chuck roast
  • 3 beef bouillon cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (14 oz each) tomato sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the chuck roast in a pressure cooker with the bouillon cubes and enough water to cover. Cook under pressure for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Remove the meat and let it cool slightly. Reserve the cooking broth. Shred the beef into thin strips using two forks.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened and lightly golden.

  4. 4

    Add the diced peppers and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

  5. 5

    Add the shredded beef and tomato sauce. Stir to combine, then add a ladle of the reserved cooking broth.

  6. 6

    Season with salt and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  7. 7

    Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot over rice or with crusty bread.
