Ingredients

  • 2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce

    plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from the can

  • ½ cup sour cream 

  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice

    (from about 2 limes)

  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 1 4-pound beef chuck or shoulder roast 

  • 1 pound yucca

    peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 

Step By Step

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. 
2
In a blender, combine the chipotles and adobo sauce, sour cream, ¼ cup of the olive oil, the lime juice, and the salt. Blend until smooth. 
3
Spread one-third to one-half of the chipotle cream sauce over the beef roast and place the roast in a roasting pan or baking dish; reserve the remaining sauce for serving. 
4
In a large bowl, toss the yucca with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread out on a sheet pan. 
5
Roast the beef for 2½ to 3 hours, until the beef easily pulls apart with a fork.
6
When the beef has 45 minutes left in the oven, put the yucca sheet pan into oven and bake. Yucca should be tender when the beef is done.
7
Remove from the oven and transfer the beef to a cutting board. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Cut the roast in half; shred one half and transfer the meat to an airtight container and refrigerate to use for barbacoa tacos. Cut the remaining half across the grain into ½-inch-thick slices.
8
Serve the sliced beef with the yucca and the remaining chipotle cream sauce.
