Barbacoa Beef tacos
Cut roast into 6 portions while removing any large pieces of fat. Heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet.
Dab roast dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper (about 1 tsp salt 3/4 tsp pepper). Add 3 pieces to skillet and sear until browned on all sides. Transfer to a slow cooker.
Add remaining 1 Tbsp vegetable oil to skillet and repeat process with remaining 3 roast pieces. Nestle beef portions side by side in an even layer in the slow cooker.
In a food processor, pulse together chipotle chilies, garlic, and 1/4 cup beef broth until well pureed, occasionally stopping and scraping down the sides of the processor.
In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup or in a bowl, whisk together the remaining beef broth with the chipotle mixture, cumin, oregano, and cloves. Pour mixture over beef in the slow cooker, then nestle bay leaves between beef portions.
