2 chuck roast, cut into medium sized chunks
1 cup beef broth
3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
5 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon ground cumin (jeeru)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoons ground cloves (pinch)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

In a blender combine the garlic, adobo peppers, ground cloves, ground cumin, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, oregano, and beef broth. Blend it well and set it aside.
Heat a pan on medium high with some oil.
Sear the trimmed and cut chuck roast pieces until brown on all sides.
Take the beef and place it in a slow cooker. TIP: Do not use the oil and drippings from the pan, be sure to discard it.
Pour the blender ingredients into the slow cooker and mix well with the seared beef.
Set the slow cooker to 4 hours high or 8 hours low. If you are using an Instant Pot, set it on slow cook for 4 hours.
Once the time is up, take the beef chunks out onto a cutting board and shred.
Place the shredded beef back into the slow cooker so it absorbs more of the juice.
Let it marinate for an additional 30 minutes or more.
Before serving, drain the shredded beef in a colander or use a skimmer to place it into a serving bowl.
Toss with cilantro and serve!
