Ingredients

Servings
  • 3-4 pounds chuck roast trimmed and cut into 2 inch chunks
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 2 chipotle chiles in adobo
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons oregano dried
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons salt sea salt
  • 1 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 bay leaf whole

Instructions

  1. Combine the broth, chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, garlic, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, dried oregano, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper in a blender. Puree until smooth.
  2. Place the beef chunks in the slow cooker. Pour the pureed mixture from the blender on top. Add the (whole) bay leaves.
  3. Cook for 8-10 hours on low, until the beef is fall-apart tender.
  4. Remove the bay leaves. Shred the meat using two forks and stir into the juices. Cover and rest for 10 minutes to allow the beef to absorb even more flavor. Use a slotted spoon and serve with desired toppings.

Notes

  • FRIDGE: Place leftover beef into an airtight container and refrigerate for 4-5 days.
  • FREEZER: Transfer leftover barbacoa to an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw in the fridge before reheating.
  • To reheat, place in a pan on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through. If it needs more liquid, just add a splash or beef broth to the mixture.
