Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 900 g Beef chuck roast, cut into 3-inch chunks
  • 3 tbsp Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 3 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 4 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Ground cloves
  • 1 cup Beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice

Method
 

  1. Combine chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, cumin, oregano, cloves, and beef broth in a slow cooker.
  2. Add the beef chunks and turn to coat evenly in the sauce mixture.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the beef shreds easily with a fork.
  4. Remove the beef, shred with two forks, and return to the slow cooker to absorb the sauce for 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in lime juice just before serving to brighten the flavors.
