Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa
Serves 4-6
4
minutesBarbacoa means “barbecue” – it’s a dish, a flavor profile and a cooking style. In this version, we employ a slow cooker to render the beef very tender. The cooking liquid is a combo of tangy, savory, spicy and hot! It’s a beautiful combination of our Peach Balsamic, Barbacoa Blend, chiles, onions, garlic and citrus. It’s perfect for serving on tortillas with pico de gallo and sour cream.
Ingredients
4 lb chuck roast, cut in 6 pieces
Salt & pepper
1/2 cup Peach Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tbl tomato paste
4 green onions, trimmed and cut in 1” pieces
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 jalapeño, seeded and cut in small pieces
2 Tbl lime juice
1 cup beef broth
2 Tbl Barbacoa Blend
1 1/2 Tbl Chipotle Powder Morita
Tortillas, for serving
Pico de Gallo, Avocado, Sour cream, for serving
Instructions
- Season the beef on all sides with salt and pepper. Place all the balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, onions, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, beef broth, Barbacoa Blend and Chipotle Morita in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Place beef pieces in the bottom of a slow cooker. Pour liquid over beef and stir to combine. Cover and cook for 4-5 hours on low.
- After beef has fully cooked and is tender, using a slotted spoon, remove beef from cooking liquid. Using two forks, pull meat apart and return to the pot. Serve with tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream.
