Instructions
  1. Mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, oregano and red chili flakes, set aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the slow cooker with the tomato paste, lime juice, and just 1-2 teaspoons of the spice mixture. Stir everything together until fully mixed.
  3. Sprinkle the rest of the spices all over the chuck roast, patting to help it stick to the meat.
  4. Place the meat on top of the onion mixture and set cook on low for 7-8 hours. Total cooking time will vary for different roasts.
  5. After meat has cooked, use two forks to shred the meat, removing any large pieces of fat or gristle as you find them. (If the meat is still too tough to shred, it needs to be cooked a little longer. Cook for an additional 30-60 minutes and check it again.) Stir to mix well with the sauce. Cover and continue to cook on low for another 30-60 minutes.
  6. Before serving stir well again to mix the meat with the sauce. Taste meat and season with more salt to taste.
  7. Alternate recipe: I actually cooked this in my Foodi! Throw everything in the Foodi/pressure cooker together. My roast was actually 15.5 oz, just over 2" thick. I hear the thickness is the important bit. I cooked it on high pressure for 45 minutes, 10 minute natural release then released it all. Turned out amazing!
Recipe Notes

Original Recipe:  https://www.foxandbriar.com/slow-cooker-mexican-shredded-beef/

This type of meat will get tender buy cooking low and slow. If it seems too tough when you think it is done, try cooking for another 30-60 minutes, then check again. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will get.

Or use a pressure cooker!  Which is what I did, and it was amazing!  Tender and flavorful, and quick!

This recipe was mashed together from several, since none of them were exactly what I wanted.  I'll try to remember to modify it as needed after we try it.

Instructions
  1. At least 1 day before cooking, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Combine remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and grind to a coarse paste. Slather all over chicken, including under skin. Refrigerate 12 to 36 hours. Bring to room temperature before cooking and lightly sprinkle with more salt and ground allspice.
  2. Prepare a charcoal grill: Clean and oil grates, and preheat to medium heat using one chimney of charcoal. The temperature can start as high as 300 degrees and go as low as 250. For best results, coals should be at least 12 inches away from chicken. If necessary, push coals to one side of grill to create indirect heat. Add two large handfuls of soaked pimento (allspice) wood sticks and chips (see note) or other aromatic wood chips to coals, then close grill. When thick white smoke billows from grill, place chicken on grate, skin side up, and cover. Let cook undisturbed for 30 to 35 minutes.
  3. Uncover grill. Chicken will be golden and mahogany in places. Chicken thighs may already be cooked through. For other cuts, turn chicken over and add more wood chips, and charcoal if needed. Cover and continue cooking, checking and turning every 10 minutes. Jerk chicken is done when skin is burnished brown and chicken juices are completely clear, with no pink near the bone. For large pieces, this can take up to an hour. Serve hot or warm, with rice and beans.

Recipe Notes

Can subsitute 1/4 tsp saffron with 1/8 tsp turmeric and 1/4 tsp sweet paprika.  Not quite the same, but supposed to be pretty good, and a lot cheaper!

Instructions
  1. Make the braising liquid: In a bowl combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and Shaoxing wine together and mix well. Set aside.
  2. Place the oil in a wok or large saute pan over high heat and swirl until hot. A drop of water should evaporate within 1-2 seconds. Add the garlic, ginger, scallions, and Sichuan peppercorns/chili pepper if using and stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken and stir-fry until no pink on the surface remains (you just want to sear the outside nicely).
  4. Add the braising liquid and star anise or anise seed if using and cook for 1 minute ensuring that the chicken is well coated in the braising liquid. Add the water and cover and cook for 4 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no pink remains. Serve immediately over rice with hearty amounts of the broth. Garnish with a little extra chopped scallion.
