Recipe

Description
Barbacoa is a way of cooking meat that originated in the Caribbean long ago. Today, it is a way of cooking meat, like a Mexican barbecue. This recipe copies those flavors by searing the meat, and cooks the meat in a slow cooker in spicy adobo sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 t. kosher salt, divided
- 3-4 lb. chuck roast, fat trimmed
- 2 T. extra virgin olive oil
- 2-3 bay leaves
- Sauce:
- ¼ c. apple cider vinegar
- 6-7 cloves garlic
- 4 t. ground cumin
- 1 T. dried oregano
- 1 t. ground black pepper
- 1/8 t. ground clove
- 4 chipotle peppers (from a can, packed in adobo sauce)
- 1 t. adobo sauce (from the chipotle pepper can)
- 1 c. chicken stock or broth (or 1 c. water and 1 t. chicken base)
- ¼ c. fresh lime juice
Steps
- Prepare roast, making sure all visible fat is trimmed. Cut into 8 chunks. Sprinkle all sides of cut beef with 1 t. salt, reserving the remaining 1 teaspoon. Set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the sauce ingredients; blend until smooth; set aside.
- Warm a heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat, until water droplets dripped over top sizzles. Add oil. Sear all sides of beef.
