Ropa Veijo

4 lb boneless top chuck roast
2 tsp fajita seasoning
2 tbsp vegetable oil
28 oz canned Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
2 cups water
4 cups warm cooked rice
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Rub both sides of roast evenly with fajita seasoning.  In a large pot over medium-high heat, sear roast in hot oil until browned on all sides (about 5 minutes).  Combine stewed tomatoes and water; pour over roast.  Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 4 hours or until roast is tender.  Remove roast and shred using two forks.

Skim fat from tomato liquid and discard.  Toss warm rice with parsley.  Serve beef mixture over rice.
