Cut some of the fat and silver off and cut into large chunks, salt/pepper to your taste here.
2 T olive oil or whatever oil you like. Sear the chunks
Next blend up.
2-3 chipotle
6 fresh garlic gloves
1/4 cup beef broth.
Put sauce in small bowl. Set aside.
Next add to blender.
1 cup beef broth
1.5 T ground cumin (or to taste)
1 T dry oregano (try to use mexican)
1/4 tsp ground glove
And add the chipotle past you made. Blend well.
Add seared meat to slow cooker, place 3 bay leaves between some chunks.
Pour chipotle liquid slowly over meat.
Cover and set time for 8-9 hours on low.
