Each batch makes a lot of beef — A LOT. The infuriating thing about giving food to friends is that they always tell me they love it. They tasted completely different! How could they not tell?

The thing I was struggling to get right was the strength of flavour. This Mexican Shredded Beef is perfect for using for any number of Mexican dishes.

Surprised myself with how well it turned out. These Tacos were amazing. Thanks so much for posting! Did it in the slow cooker, turned out great, will definitely be making this again. Hi Nagi, I was thinking of using this sauce for smoked brisket? I already smoked it and shredded it, but it needs a sauce. Any alterations you can think of, or will it work just as good? However, the sauce would be great with smoked brisket! I figured if a smokey flavor is the key…throw the meat on a grill.

I patted in the dry spices on the meat, less the chipotle powder and , tossed it on a fril over a small chunk of mesquite SMALL mesquite is a sharp over powering flavor wood Seared the outsides of the meat to a dark crisp, then followed the recipe…. Should I add extra fat such as bacon? I have made and enjoyed very much your beef ragu. Thanks for any suggestions. I hope to hear from you soon. Absolutely delicious, and I mean it with a capitol D! I made it for a crew and a couple said it was the best taco they ever had. The depth of flavor was incredible. I blended the left over sauce for the topping and the rest I am saving for beans.

Thank you so much for this recipe, I will be making this for my crews and company for years to come! Thank you thank you!!

Just finished serving this for Cinco de Mayo…delicious! Made it in my crockpot. A big hit with the family. Your pictures are amazing and inspirational! Happy Cinco de Mayo! Also, I am assuming you need to dice or mince the garlic…. And yes, minced garlic.

See a Problem?

I assume I should add the meat again in step 4? I know the recipe says to not return it and shred it in step 6, but it is earlier in the recipe where it seems to be missing! Very excited to try this recipe, looks amazing.

  • No offence … Unless you have made changes to the recipe since Elise commented in April, you did state in Step 4 to return beef to pot. Add the orange juice and lime juice, and scrape the bottom of the pot so the brown bits mix into the liquid. Then return the beef into the pot, add remaining Spice Mix, canned tomatoes, beef broth, and enough water so the beef is mostly, but not completely submerged. I make all my recipes from scratch. I buy fresh and organics. I prepared the meat with the rest of the ingredients and put it for only 30min in a pressure cooker.

    I combine this with cumin, garlic and onion powder, oregano, paprika and salt and pepper for the meat seasonong. And, of course, all ingredients should be fresh as I am sure Nagi will agree. But the idea of storing in the fridge or even freezing them is a great idea. I can make a bunch of burritos and enjoy them any time I like until they are all gone. I love hearing that! Vanessa, Unfortunately, not all of us are as talented as you. I, for one, find all the extra information Nagi provides very helpful. She answers my questions before I have even had time to think of them.

    Hi Nagi, i too enjoy your stories.
