Trim excess fat, silver skin, and gristle from the chuck roast using a boning knife.

Slice the chuck roast about a quarter inch thick.

Combine Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lime zest, dried oregano, ground cumin, light brown sugar, finely chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and lime juice in a resealable bag with the sliced beef.

Seal the bag and mix to coat the beef with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.

Render the trimmed beef fat in a pan over medium to medium-low heat.

Char Roma tomatoes, onion, and jalapenos in a hot pan until the outside is caramelized and blackened.

Place the charred vegetables in a blender with fresh cilantro and some water, then blend to desired consistency.

Sear the marinated beef in the rendered fat over high heat, seasoning lightly with sea salt and optional MSG.

Chop the cooked beef roughly to increase volume without losing texture.

Warm tortillas and fill them with the beef, topped with fire-roasted salsa, diced white onion, and fresh cilantro.
