CHIPOTLE'S COPYCAT BARBACOA image

Categories     Beef

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3-4 pound chuck roast, fat trimmed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 bay leaves
Sauce
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
6 cloves garlic
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
4 chipotle peppers (from a can, packed in adobo sauce)
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the chipotle pepper can)
1 cup chicken broth (or 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon chicken base)
¼ cup fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Prepare roast. Make sure all visible fat is trimmed. Cut into 8 chunks. Sprinkle all sides of cut beef with ½ of the salt (1 teaspoon), reserving the remaining 1 teaspoon. Set aside. In a blender or food processor combine the sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth. Set aside. If you do not have a food processor or blender, see cook's note. Warm a heavy bottom pot over medium high heat, until water dripped over top sizzles. Add oil. Sear all sides of cut beef. Once all sides are seared, place seared beef into slow cooker. Set slow cooker temperature to high. Pour sauce over top. Add bay leaves. Cook for 5-6 hours on high (or 8 hours on low) covered. After about 5 hours (or 7 hours on low) shred beef using 2 forks to pull it apart. Taste, and add additional teaspoon of salt (as needed), stir to completely coat in sauce. Cover and cook for 1 more hour. After this time you can serve and enjoy or turn slow cooker to warm until ready to serve.

This recipe is way too complicated. I spent hours in the kitchen and the barbacoa was still not good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the barbacoa came out tough and chewy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The barbacoa was good, but not as good as I was hoping. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found that the barbacoa was a bit dry. Next time, I'll try adding some more liquid to the slow cooker.

The barbacoa was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some sour cream and guacamole.

I've tried many barbacoa recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chipotle peppers added a smoky depth of flavor that was out of this world.

This barbacoa recipe is a game-changer! The meat was fall-apart tender and had the perfect balance of spices. My family devoured it in minutes.
