🔥 Instructions

1. Prep the Beef:

3. Load the Slow Cooker:

   • Place beef chunks in the slow cooker.

   • Add diced onion and garlic on top.

   • Pour marinade over the beef.

   • Add beef broth around the meat.

4. Cook Low & Slow:

   • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours (or high for ~4–5 hours) until the beef is tender and shreds easily.

5. Shred & Serve:

   • Remove the beef, shred it with two forks, then return it to the slow cooker and mix with the juices.

   • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

6. Garnish & Enjoy:

   • Top with fresh cilantro if you like.

   • Serve in tacos, burrito bowls, rice plates, or even sliders!!
