This Beef Barbacoa features tender, slow-cooked brisket marinated in a zesty blend of lime, tomatoes, and spices, creating rich, melt-in-your-mouth meat. Serve it with rice, black beans, tortillas, and fresh toppings for a delicious, flavour-packed meal.
Marinate the Brisket:
Combine all ingredients, along with the brisket, in a zip-lock bag. Allow to marinate overnight, turning the bag over at least once.
Cook the Brisket:
Remove the brisket from the marinade. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the brisket well on all sides, but leave the centre raw.
Place the browned meat in a slow cooker, along with the marinated ingredients from the bag. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 6 hours. The meat should be fork-tender.
To Serve:
Shred the meat using a fork. Serve with black beans and rice, or tortillas, and accompaniments such as tomato salsa, fresh coriander (cilantro), fresh chilli, sour cream, and lime wedges
