No Fuss Shredded Beef Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• For the marinade: Whisk the oil, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, chile powders, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, pepper, salt and thyme together in a large bowl. Add the beef, making sure every piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• For the machaca: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain the beef, pat it dry and then sear in batches until browned on all sides. Remove to a plate. Add the water, tomatoes, cumin, oregano, hot sauce and some salt and pepper to the pot and bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
• Return the beef to the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the meat is fork tender, about 2 hours.
• Remove from the heat and pull out the meat, shredding it with forks. Return the meat to the pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat, uncovered. Reduce the liquid until very thick, almost dry, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the tacos: Take a warm tortilla and fill with 3 tablespoons of the machaca beef. Fold the tortilla over and close with two toothpicks along the sides. Continue with the remaining tortillas.
• Fill a large heavy-bottomed saucepan with enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.)
• Fry the tacos in batches until golden brown and the shell is hard, about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside on a tray lined with parchment paper. Remove the toothpicks and fill each taco with cheese, lettuce and tomato.

Steps:

• Whisk together vegetable oil, vinegar, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, and garlic in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the sliced beef, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
• Bring beef to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Transfer beef and lime juice marinade to a large baking dish. Add beef stock and cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven until beef is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Allow meat to rest for 10 minutes before shredding with 2 forks. Drain and discard about 80% of liquid from meat and season with salt before serving.
