Mexican-style pulled beef, or “barbacoa”, is easy to make, as pulled beef always is. It just takes time. Measure the ingredients into the pot and wait. The end result is an infinitely juicy and nicely spicy pulled beef that you can put between tacos, in burritos or on top of nachos.

- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- 4 bay leaves
