Ingredients

• 3 lb tri tip beef roast
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice and zest of one lime
• 1/3 cup unsalted beef stock
• 1/3 cup gold tequila
• 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
• 1 bay leaf

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl combine the cumin, oregano, salt and chili powder. Rub mixture over the beef roast. Place the roast in your slow cooker.

Add the garlic, lime juice and zest, beef stock, tequila, chipotle powder and bay leaf. Turn the meat over a few times in the mixture to coat. Set the slow cooker to high, put on the lid and cook 3-4 hours.

Once beef has reached your desired doneness, remove from the slow cooker and place on a cutting board to rest. Discard the bay leaf. Shred the beef with a fork and knife. Return the meat to the slow cooker and coat with the remaining sauce. Keep on warm until ready to serve. Serves 10-12.
