Wildwood Ovens Shredded Beef, Machaca Style

Shredded Beef machaca

Ingredients:

2-3 lbs Flat cut beef brisket 
1 Green bell pepper, julienne
1.5 Tbsp Adobo seasoning (From Penzy's)
1 Whole fresh Jalapeno, sliced 
1 Medium onion, julienne
1 Clove garlic, sliced
1 C Beef stock

Procedure:
Trim Excess fat from brisket. Insert garlic slices into the brisket. Rub adobo seasoning over the entire piece of meat. Render some of the trimmed fat in a 6 liter soapstone pot. Heat the soapstone in the oven and brown the brisket evenly on all sides.

Place peppers and onions in the bottom of the same 6 liter soapstone pot used to brown the brisket. Place the brisket on top. Add beef stock. Cover and place in a 300°F - 400°F oven with only coals remaining. Close the oven door,allow to braise until the brisket breaks apart easily, a minimum of 3-4 hours (though some cook overnight). When finished, the brisket will easily shred with just a fork, or your fingers. Serve with hot corn tortillas, diced onions, cilantro, and Monterey Jack cheese.
