Beef Barbacoa

Ingredients:

• 1kg chuck steak
• 2 whole bay leaf

• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 4 tbsp Chipotle in Adobo Sauce
• 5 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 2 tsp Cumin
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves

1. Traditionally you would combine all sauce ingredients and blend until smooth.  To save time, I turned on my slow cooker so it was heating up and started adding my ingredients.
2. Add all sauce ingredients and mix thoroughly.
3. Place your chuck steak into the slow cooker and press down so it is most submerged in the sauce.
4. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.  Beef should be failing apart and easy to shred with two forks.
5. Remove the bay leaves and shred meat in the slow cooker to allow the meat to soak up all the juices.
6. This filling is great for tacos or burritos but we love it served over rice and topped with mashed avocado.
