Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 (4 pound) boneless beef chuck roast

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tablespoon anise seed

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seed

  • 1 large green bell pepper, julienned

Directions

  1. Rinse and pat dry the roast. Coat the roast evenly with the flour; season with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic to the hot oil; sear the beef in the oil until all sides are slightly browned. Transfer the roast to a slow cooker. Pour the water over the roast.

  3. Cook on Low for 5 hours. Add the anise seed and sesame seed to the slow cooker and cook another 4 hours. Add the green bell pepper and continue cooking until the meat is tender and easily pulled apart, about 1 hour more.
