Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer the browned beef to your slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cocoa powder, coffee, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer.
Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
