Enjoy taqueria-style barbacoa at home with this scrumptious recipe courtesy of the Lakewinds deli team! It takes a little time to prepare, but most of it is hands-off, making this a perfect option for Saturday or Sunday dinner.
Preheat oven to 350°. Make a paste by combining cumin, cloves, chili powder, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, vinegar, lime juice, and chipotle peppers. Rub roast with oil and paste mixture and place into a roasting pan. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan. Cover and roast the beef for 2 to 2 ½ hours.
Discard the bay leaves, remove the beef from the rest of the pan, and let both cool slightly. Shred the beef and skim fat off the top of the juices. Place the juice in a blender and blend until smooth. Return beef and juices to the roasting pan and let both warm again, then serve.
