Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa

I don’t know what else to call it 🀭 I started out following a recipe but ended up adding cuban flavors to it. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Maybe Mojo Shredded Beef? Or just damn delicious shredded beef? https://just2note.com/2021/04/06/slow-cooker-beef-barbacoa/ BUT (note at bottom of this post). I’ve changed to using my pressure cooker, to sear, then PC, before transferring to my slow cooker. The PC has a slow cooker in it also. However, I like the height and shape of the original slow cooker more for serving; I leave it on warm, and whoever shows up can eat even they want.

First, I sear well seasoned beef roast in a little coconut oil in Ninja Foodi PC. Switch to PC, throw in flavors you want

➑️ juice of orange 🍊, lime, guajillo pepper, ancho chile, hatch chile, abobo pepper 🌢, garlic, onion, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, chili powder, sprinkle of dark brown sugar, salt & pepper πŸ€”

on high for 45 minutes, depending on size of roast. Transfer to slow cooker, shred with 2 forks, strain liquid from PC over meat, taste & adjust if necessary.

All I had was blood orange πŸ˜‰

NOTE to self:

Our favorite, when we can get it ‴️

Seared well seasoned beef in Ninja foodi multi cooker. Then addedΒ  1 1/2 cups beef broth, guajillo pepper, pasilla ancho chile pod, 2 arbo chile pods, chipotle chile with adobo sauce, juice 1 orange, juice 1 lime, couple tbs brown sugar (or to taste), half an onion, 3-4 garlic cloves; seasonings: Redmond Real Salt, pepper, chili powder, chipotle powder, garlic powder, onion powder, McCormick Herb Garlic Salt and Pepper seasoning, cumin; pressure cooked 1 hrs and 45 minutes. Shredded beef, put in slow cooker. Put contents from pressure cooker in blender, blending well. Strain into slow cooker over beef. Taste for seasoning. I added more chipotle powder, brown sugar, and McCormick seasoning, to taste (with my daughter’s assistance 😜). Allow flavors to heat/blend/cook together for a little bit πŸ˜‰ until I couldn’t wait 🀭 We like it on little street flour tortillas. Leftovers for either more tacos, nachos, etc…
