Recipe Note
What You'll Love About This Recipe
Deep, Bold Flavor
Slow-smoking the chuck roast and then braising it in Guinness Extra Stout creates rich, complex layers of flavor. The bitterness of the stout perfectly balances the sweetness of the bell peppers and the heat of jalapeños, while the beef soaks up every drop of that bold, aromatic liquid.
Tender, Shreddable Beef
Chuck roast becomes fork-tender through low and slow cooking, making every bite juicy and satisfying. It’s a perfect texture for stuffing into tortillas without being overly greasy or dry.
Colorful & Crowd-Pleasing
With vibrant sautéed peppers, onions, and jalapeños in every serving, this dish looks as good as it tastes. It's visually impressive for game day, backyard gatherings, or a hearty family-style dinner.
Make-Ahead Friendly
You can smoke and braise the roast ahead of time, then reheat and reduce the sauce just before serving. That means less stress and more flavor on party day.
Customizable Toppings
Serve it with shredded cheese, guacamole, salsa, or even pickled onions—everyone at the table can build their perfect fajita.
