Ingredients

    3 1/2 lbs Beef, brisket, not trimmed
    2 tbsp Olive Oil

    1 large Onions, raw diced
    5 cloves Garlic chopped

    2 tsp Oregano, ground
    2 tsp Garlic powder
    1 tsp Onion powder
    4 tsp chipotle chile pepper powder
    1 tbsp Paprika
    1 tsp Allspice

    0.75 cup Orange Juice

Tips

The nutrition count is per ounce of shredded beef with some sauce added to it. The 3 1/2 pound brisket yielded 28 ounces of meat and about 6 cups of sauce.


Directions

Mix the spices together and rub half over the meat. Sear over high heat on all sides. Cut meat if needed. Set meat aside on a plate. Add onions and garlic and cook over medium for 3 minutes. Add orange and lime juices and scrape up any browned bits in the pan. Place into crock pot and add remaining spices, beef broth and crushed tomatoes. Meat should be mostly, but not completely submerged. Place lid on crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours. Remove meat and let it cool. Shred the meat, removing all fat and gristle. If sauce is not thick enough, simmer with lid off until desired consistency. Let sauce cool, and remove fat.
