Spring Hill Ranch Southwestern Seasoning Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin and ground cayenne. While whisking vigorously, drizzle in the oil. Store and marinate in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• 1. Trim the roast of any excess fat and cut it into four relatively equal chunks. Rub the pieces with the black pepper and set them aside.
• 2. In the slow cooker, stir together the broth, green chiles, onion, chipotles, garlic powder, oregano, chili powder, ground cumin, and cayenne.
• 3. Add the pieces of beef, tucking them down into the sauce mixture. If the sauce/liquid does not come at least 1/3 of the way up the beef pieces, add enough water to do that.
• 4. Cover and cook on the high setting until the meat begins to fall apart, about 8 hours. Check every once in awhile and, if necessary, add water to keep the roast from drying out.
• 5. Turn the slow cooker down to the low setting and remove meat to a large bowl or 9x13 baking dish. Shred the meat using two forks.
• 6. Return the meat to the slow cooker and cook it about 20 minutes to reheat and deepen the seasoning before serving.
• 7. We will often freeze this in one-pound amounts so it's easy to grab a bag an make a bunch of burritos or tacos. It'll keep in the fridge for a few days or in the freezer for 6 months (not that you'll ever have it there that long!).

Steps:

• 1. Combine all ingredients. For best results, run the ingredients through a mill or spice grinder for an even consistency. Store in an airtight glass jar and store in a cool, dark place. Maintains freshness for about 6 months.

Steps:

• 1. In batches, use a spice grinder to grind the peppercorns, oregano, dried culantro leaves (or coriander seeds, if using), and cumin seeds, placing the powder in a small mixing bowl.
• 2. Add the granulated garlic, annatto and salt (if using). Mix it all up well. Store the seasoning in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to six months, or in the freezer for two years.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container. Use as a seasoning for cooked vegetables, grilled meats or chip dips.
