Instructions

Rehydrate Chilies: Toast the Guajillo chilies in a dry skillet for 1 minute until fragrant. Submerge them in boiling water for 15 minutes to soften.

Blend Marinade: In a blender, combine the softened chilies, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, garlic, cumin, cloves, oregano, and 1 tsp salt. Blend until smooth.

Sear Beef: Season the beef chunks generously with salt. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet over high heat and sear the beef on all sides until a deep brown crust forms. Transfer to a slow cooker.

Slow Cook: Pour the blended chili marinade over the beef in the slow cooker. Toss in the bay leaves. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours (or HIGH for 4-5 hours).

Shred Meat: The beef is ready when it falls apart easily. Remove the meat from the slow cooker, discard the bay leaves, and shred the beef using two forks.

Toss in Juices: Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and toss it in the rich, flavorful cooking juices. Serve hot with warm corn tortillas, diced onions, and cilantro.
