Method
- Cube the chuck roast and beef shank and put in the slow cooker with the onion and garlic. Add water to cover.
- Stem and seed the chiles, then add them with the bouillon and spices. Cover and cook on high for about three hours.
- Carefully blend the tomatoes and softened aromatics with three cups of broth. Remove the bay leaves rather than blending them. Return the sauce to the beef.
- Continue cooking for about four more hours, until the beef is tender. Remove bones and any remaining bay leaves. Serve in bowls, tacos, or quesadillas.
