Season the Chuck roast with Salt and Black pepper.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the Chuck roast in batches over medium-high heat. Remove and set aside.
Add the Yellow onion and Red bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 7 minutes.
Stir in the Garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Add the Chili powder, Smoked paprika, Cumin, Oregano, and Cayenne pepper to the pot and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Return the Chuck roast to the pot. Pour in the Crushed tomatoes and Beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 90 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
