Slow-smoked succulent beef barbacoa perfect for wrapping in burritos or topping tacos. The lengthy preparation only adds to its exceptional taste.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 (3 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
Instructions:
  • Get your smoker ready by adding moistened hickory wood charcoal. Maintain a temperature of 180 to 200 degrees F (80 to 95 degrees C) inside your grill or smoker.
  • Mix black pepper, oregano, cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and seasoned salt in a bowl until well combined.
  • Massage chuck roast with the aromatic spice blend until well coated. Smoke the meat in the smoker for 1 1/2 hours, rotating every 30 minutes until a rich dark red color with slightly charred edges develops. Transfer the smoked roast to a roasting pan, tightly seal with aluminum foil.
  • Preheat the oven to a cozy 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Roast the meat in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until it is fork-tender.
  • Shred the hot meat using two forks once uncovered.
