Notes

Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Taco Instructions

Rub beef with spice rub and sear all sides in a skillet on the stove.* Transfer to slow cooker, then add onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Pour in broth mixture and cook for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
*Searing step is optional, but it adds a lot of flavor and a good texture.
