Ingredients
- ½ cup packed cilantro leaves
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar

- 1 4-pound boneless beef chuck roast, excess fat trimmed and cut into 6 pieces
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ tablespoons canola oil

Instructions
- CILANTRO MIXTURE: Combine cilantro, vinegar, lime juice, chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder and cloves in the bowl of a food processor until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
- Season beef with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
