Barbacoa
A vacation in the Caribbean Islands inspired us to work on a blend that closely matched the bold, smoky, spicy flavor we enjoyed at a roadside stand. We recommend using tougher cuts of meat, suitable for a long braise, such as Beef Cheeks, Chuck, Pork Shoulder, Lamb Shanks, and Goat meat.
Barbacoa seasoning is suitable for both dry rub/braising spice and the consommé spice base. Toast spices on medium-low with some Better than Bouillon Beef, a little bit of olive oil, and a splash of water. Add room temperature or warmer water and bring to a simmer to infuse and create the consommé. Adding cold water to the hot sauce pot will cause it to jump out of the pan and burn you, don’t ask us how we know.
