Cubes of beef are seared, then slow cooked in an aromatic blend of herbs and spices to make a perfectly seasoned barbacoa beef.
Ingredients
  • 4-5 pounds chuck eye beef, cut into big cubes
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 onions, diced
  • ½ lime juice
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 2 Tablespoons cumin
  • 2 Tablespoons oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1-2 teaspoons chipotle powder
  • 1 can green chiles (optional)
  • 1 cup broth or water
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Heat oil in a dutch oven pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and allow to brown 3-4minutes. Flip over and brown the other side.
  2. Add all the other ingredients and bring to a simmer. Put the lid on it and transfer the pot to the oven.
  3. Cook for 3-4 hours, until the meat is soft enough to shred with a fork.
  4. If there is too much liquid, move the pot to the stovetop and simmer without the lid on for a few minutes to reduce the liquid.
  5. Shred with a fork and enjoy!
