Juicy, intensely flavorful pulled beef barbacoa. For my money it's the best taco filling there is.

Time 7h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 Anaheim chile peppers
1 poblano pepper
8 dried chipotle chiles - stemmed, seeded, and halved
water to cover
6 cloves garlic
¼ white onion
2 cups beef broth
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer (such as Budweiser®)
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
¼ teaspoon ground allspice, or to taste
1 lime
1 (3 pound) chuck tender roast

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place Anaheim and poblano peppers on top.
  • Roast peppers in the preheated oven until skins are charred and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add chipotle peppers and cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in enough water to cover the peppers; increase heat to medium-high. Weigh down the peppers with something heavy, like another pot, to keep them submerged. Simmer until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove Anaheim and poblano peppers from the oven. Let cool until easily handled. Peel and discard seeds. Mince peppers and place in a blender with the chipotle pepper mixture, garlic, and onion. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour beef broth and beer into a slow cooker. Stir in the blended pepper mixture, salt, cumin, pepper, marjoram, and allspice. Cut lime in half; squeeze juice into the slow cooker and toss in the lime halves. Add roast.
  • Cook on Low for 5 hours. Remove roast and shred the meat with 2 forks. Return to the slow cooker and simmer for 2 hours more. Use tongs to serve straight from the slow cooker.

This barbacoa was fall-apart tender and had the perfect balance of smoky and spicy flavors. I served it with tortillas, salsa, and guacamole, and it was a huge hit with my family.
