Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 pound beef roast round or chuck, trimmed of fat
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 6 cloves minced garlic
- 4 dried Guajillo chiles
- 4 teaspoons oregano
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup strongly brewed coffee
- ⅛ cup lime juice
Instructions
- Cut the roast into 8 equal-sized pieces. Sprinkle the salt evenly on the meat pieces. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meat on all sides, then place in the bottom of a large slow cooker.
- In a food processor, chop the garlic and chiles for 1 minutes on low. Then add the oregano, black pepper, chicken broth, coffee, and lime juice and pulse until combined. Pour over the meat - the top portion of the meat should not be under liquid.
- Cook on low for 6 hours. When finished cooking, use 2 forks or tongs to pull the beef apart. Then stir well so that all meat is mixed in with the liquid.
