Southern Texas-Style Beef Barbacoa image

This tender, slow-cooked beef tastes great on burritos and tacos. My family of 8 goes nuts over it, and 5 lbs. of this meat isn't enough to satisfy them. It takes a long time to prepare, but the wait is worth the effort.

Time 3h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 (3 pound) boneless beef chuck roast

Steps:

  • Prepare a smoker with dampened hickory wood charcoal. The heat inside your grill or smoker should be around 180 to 200 degrees F (80 to 95 degrees C). Combine the black pepper, oregano, cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and seasoned salt in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed.
  • Place the chuck roast into a mixing bowl, and rub all over with the spice mixture. Place the meat into the smoker, and smoke for 1 1/2 hours, turning about every half hour. The meat should be a dark red color, and the edges should be darkened. Place the meat into a roasting pan, and seal tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Bake the barbacoa in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours until very tender. Uncover the beef, and shred with two forks while still hot.

I've never made barbacoa before, but this recipe was easy to follow and turned out amazing! The meat was fall-apart tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it with tortillas, rice, and beans, and it was a huge success.
