 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 oregano,
 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.
 After the meat is shredded, return to the skillet and broth, add
 the chopped vegetables, add pepper and 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.
