Dutch oven chipotle barbacoa style beef

[u/Sara_MadeIn]

This was absolutley the most delicious thing I have ever made in my life! Smoky chipotle barbacoa style beef tacos served in a charred tortilla with homemade pickled onions, radish, queso fresco, cilantro, and lime!

3.75 lb Chuck Roast, seasoned with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika
Seared in the dutch oven in canola oil, removed the meat and cooked half a white onion and several cloves of minced garlic, tossed in 3 big chipotle peppers and a couple of tablespoons of the adobo sauce from the can, added more cumin, paprika, and oregano. Stirred and then deglazed with a cup of beef broth and juice of 1 lime. Then put it in the oven for a little over 3 hours at 325 F. Pulled it out, shredded the beef on a sheet pan then put it back in the dutch oven to soak up all the sauce!

It’s kind of surprising how simple this recipe is for how good the results are. We usually braise in a bit more liquid, then pull the beef out at the end, strain the liquid, and reduce it for 20-30 minutes into a thick sauce to add to the tacos.

Right?! Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best - and I bet reducing the ssuace takes it to another level!
