    I've done your barbacoa recipe so many times through the years and I always love how easy and delicious it is. I've been struggling to cook due to depressing circumstances, so anything with the slow cooker is always a huge deal for me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

    Brings back memories of my childhood waking up to the scent of homemade barbacoa..served with corn tortillas, a squeeze of lime and a dash of salt and salsa. Yummy!

    Awesome that’s how I do it as well. My wife also likes me to shred and quick pan sear the barbacoa in a cast iron skillet tender with a few crisp bits for texture just a twist on how she like hers finished off

    I like the beef cheeks or the tongue in the crock pot but you can also do it in the oven. Garlic and cominos and salt and pepper is all that's needed. Yummy

      They were both Shriners in SA.
      His granddaughter used to babysit me in the mid 70s.
      I had my first crispy taco, enchilada, and sopapilla at Karams.
      It was an amazing restaurant that I wish still existed.
      And they always had the best tamales.

    You said the fat was not the healthiest, but it turns out we’ve been lied to about nutrition for decades. Animal fat is healthy. Of course it’s less healthy if you source your protein from industrial farming since all the toxins and hormones stay in the fat. But if you can source From a cattle rancher, whose doing the grass fed grass finished with no inoculations, the fat is actually wonderful for your health. The fat soluble vitamins need fat in our diet. Anyway, I appreciate this and I’m going to make some beef cheeks.

      People don't believe me when I tell them that you can cook meat in a crock pot without adding liquid. I have cooked beef roast, turkey wings, and goat meat without adding water or broth. You can include aromatics like onions, carrots, or celery that release juices along with the meat that releases its own juices. Because the contents of the pot cooks slowly, it renders juices that don't dissipate the way other cooking methods do.

    • @Trueshogunate
      @Trueshogunate Рік тому

      Yes, believe it or not the fat slowly renders and the salt eventually gets into the juices over time that all of the meat gets covered in it and greatly seasoned by the bay leaves, pepper, etc. Sometimes I even eat the onion (in her older video she put in an onion as an optional addition).
      I definitely recommend it, super easy and great to pack for lunch when ready in the morning!
