Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef chuck roast
  • 4 dried guajillo chiles
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 cup Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 4 slices sourdough or brioche bread
  • 1 cup beef broth (homemade or store-bought)
  • Butter for grilling
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Marinade: Soak the guajillo chiles in hot water for 15 minutes. Blend with onion, garlic, oregano, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  2. Marinate Beef: Rub the marinade generously over the chuck roast. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Cook Beef: In a pot over medium heat, sear the marinated beef until browned. Add beef broth until just covered, then simmer on low for 3 hours or until fork-tender.
  4. Shred Beef: Remove cooked beef from broth and shred using two forks. Mix with shredded cheese in a bowl.
  5. Assemble Sandwiches: Layer the shredded beef-cheese filling between two slices of bread.
  6. Grill: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and grill sandwiches until golden brown and melty inside (about 4-5 minutes on each side).
  7. Serve: Enjoy immediately with lime wedges and reserved broth for dipping.
