Barbacoa-Style Shredded Beef
  • 1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast, cut into 6 to 8 chunks
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

  1. Season beef chunks with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches; cook until browned, about 1 minute per side. Transfer beef to a slow cooker.
  3. Combine beef broth, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, and cloves in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Pour over beef in the slow cooker. Stir in bay leaves.
