Barbacoa with Two Salsas
CPARKTX
Posts: 2,095
Tried homemade barbacoa today for the first time.
Started with onions, carrots, garlic and celery.
Added two beers, Oregano, Cumin, salt and pepper.
Toasted up the chilis.
Put the short ribs, chilis and mixture (all in covered cast iron pot) on the Egg at 325 dome and let it run 3.5 hours, then removed from heat ad let slowly cool down for an hour.
Removed the ribs and grilled them about five minutes to crisp up skin just a bit.
Strained liquid, plus veggies, and blended into purée as salsa number one.
Made a second salsa cruda: tomatillos, jalapeño, salt and pepper.
Heated up corn tortillas, sliced an avocado and some limes, and shredded a little bit of cotija cheese. Removed bones and shredded the beef.
The final product:

very nice. confused on your description of veg in the first salsa - you strained out the liquid, did you blend everything else?
Love you bro! -

@Legume Yes I strained the liquid (and skimmed off all the fat I could), and added back the carrots, onion, and chilis, and pureed. It is rich...LBGE & SBGE. Central Texas.

Barbacoa? With short ribs? No cow head? Or beef cheeks since you can't get cow head anymore after mad cow disease. No hole dug in the ground? Meat wrapped up in leaves? I'm just messing with you. Looks outstanding. I'd fall on that like a one legged person with their crutch kicked out. )
