Barbacoa Beef is a delicious medley of spices and chipotle peppers from Mexico. Cooking low & slow is the trick that delivers a juicy, fall-apart tender meal. Using a slow cooker allows time to infuse all of these fabulous flavors easily.

  • Although I am a brand new customer I wanted to Thank You for sharing, and allowing us to be on board in healthier better options as in grass feed meat with no harmful hormones, GMOs or steroids. Thank you for your hard work so we can get on the road to eating healthier. Also mentioning finally finding better meat choices here in the CA, USA. What happened in the US? I wish I would’ve have researched local family ranches years ago. It took me until in my 60s to realize what our food conglomerates were doing.
    Know that you are the happy in the sad state of affairs the USA is in while other countries don’t have preservatives in food. Our Goverment needs to seriously put back the F in the FDA. Can wait to try the meat, I will be posting again.
    Kindly,
