Cilantro Shredded Beef

TOTAL experiment going on right now in the crockpot. So far, the marinade tastes fantastic so crossing fingers this works out.

Cilantro Shredded Beef

3 lbs skillet steak or roast (if it's a roast, cube it)

Marinade

2 small cans chopped mild green chilis or one can hot green chilis
1 T. lime juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 heaping T. of minced garlic(I used the jarred stuff(
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp chili powder
2 T. olive oil
1/4 tsp. cumin
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
1/8 c. water

1. Put the meat in the crockpot on high. I actually put it in frozen! (I read another crockpot blog and the lady does this all the time, just with beef though!)

2. Mix up marinade.

3. Pour over beef and set crock pot on high.

Right now I'm planing on cooking on high for 4 hours and then pulling back to low for the last two....we will see what the end result is. This is suppose to be served in tacos, but we may just eat it as a main dish with rice and veggies.

The review....the hubby loved it. But because we are big on spicy food there are a few changes to what I posted earlier. We think it needed more green chili flavor and cilantro. The 1/4 c. in the original post got lost after all the cooking.
