Cook Time: 3 hrs

Difficulty: Beginner

We’ve got yet another way to serve Tacos that will be your family’s new favorite! The secret is slow smoke the beef in lots of spices, chilis, and a little beer for the best possible flavor before shredding it and piling on your favorite toppings. Delicious!

Instructions

  • Step 1: Place meat on the recteq at 250°F until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached.
  • Step 2: Mix ingredients for rub.
  • Step 3: In a roasting plan, combine the beer, sliced onions, Rotel, tomatoes, chilies, Worcestershire, chopped garlic, lime juice, beef broth, bay leaf, 2 tablespoons of beef rub, and a cup or two of water (ensure there is enough liquid to braise the beef).
  • Step 4: Place the beef in the liquid and place back on recteq at 350°F until an internal temperature of 203°F is reached, or when the beef is fork tender and easily shreds.
  • Step 5: Shred the beef in the braising liquid and serve with tortillas and toppings of your choice.

Chef Pairings

We recommend shredded cheese, sliced olives, sour cream, and fresh-made guacamole. For a hit of a side, try our Roasted Corn Salad.
