This is a tried and true recipe that my wife makes it's called BIRRIA (Beer-e-ya).

You need a large chuck steak, you place the steak in a large oven-proof skillet, cover with water. Add 1/4 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, and salt to taste. Cover skillet and simmer about 1 hour or until the meat can be shredded. Remove the meat from the skillet, save the broth.

While the meat is cooling enough to shred, chop the following: 1 cup celery, 3 medium carrots, and 1/2 cup green olives.

After the meat is shredded, return to the skillet and broth, add the chopped vegetables, add 1/4 tsp. pepper and 1/4 tsp. salt, or to taste. Place the skillet in the oven and cook at 325 degrees until the juice is reduced, so that it is not too soupy.
