Barbacoa Beef
It's a long ingredient list but don't let that scare you, it's just a lot of spices!

Ingredients

  • (1) Beef Arm Shoulder Roast >3#
  • (1 Tbsp) Rendered Tallow, 32 oz
  • (2 peppers, more if you like spicy) Chipotle peppers in adobe sauce, minced
  • (1) Yellow onion, diced
  • (2 tsp) Sea salt
  • (1 Tbsp) Mexican or standard oregano
  • (1 Tbsp) Cumin
  • (1 tsp) Garlic powder
  • (1 tsp) Onion powder
  • (1 tsp) Ground black pepper
  • (1/2 tsp) Paprika
  • (1/2 tsp) Chili powder
  • (1/4 tsp) Cinnamon, ground
  • (1/4 tsp) Cloves, ground
  • (1 Tbsp) Cilantro, fresh, minced
  • (1/2 cup or sub with water or beer) Simple Beef Bone Broth, 32 oz (sugar-free, unsalted)
  • (1/4 cup) Lime juice
  • (2 Tbsp) Apple cider vinegar
  • (1-3 tsp, depends how "smoky" you like it) Liquid smoke
  • (2) Bay leaves

Directions

  1. If you have time: In a large skillet, heat tallow on high, sear roast on all sides. (Adds extra flavor and crispy edges.)
  2. Mix all the dry seasonings in a small bowl. Place roast in slow cooker and season on all sides, add onion, peppers, liquids and bay leaves.
  3. Cover and cook on Low in slow cooker for 8-9 hours, or until meat is fork tender. If it doesn’t shred easily with a fork, cook a little longer. Note that opening the lid does add about 30 minutes to cook time because of the large temp drop.
  4. Once the meat is tender, shred in slow cooker with forks or use the paddle beater or dough hook of a KitchenAid but then stir back into the juices of the slow cooker and just serve right from the cooker with tongs or a slotted spoon.
  5. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and cilantro in a taco, burrito, bowl or with some cilantro-lime rice!

InstaPot: cook on medium heat with high pressure for 1 hour.

Leftovers: portion and freeze (with juices) for fast suppers or nachos in the future!
