Prepare the Picanha: \u2022 Season the picanha with salt and pepper on all sides. \u2022 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the picanha on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side to get a good crust. Set aside. 2. Prep the Vegetables: \u2022 Dice the tomatoes and chop the bell peppers. Mince the garlic. 3. Layer in the Slow Cooker: \u2022 Add the diced tomatoes, chopped bell peppers, minced garlic, and chopped chipotle peppers to the bottom of the slow cooker. \u2022 Sprinkle the cumin over the vegetables and pour in the beef broth and lime juice. \u2022 Place the seared picanha on top of the vegetable mixture. 4. Cook: \u2022 Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the picanha is tender and easily shredded with a fork. 5. Shred and Serve: \u2022 Once the picanha is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred the meat with two forks. \u2022 Stir the shredded picanha back into the slow cooker with the tomatoes and peppers. \u2022 Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve in tacos, over rice, or alongside fluffy potatoes.<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u2022 1 kg potatoes (russet or Yukon gold for fluffiness) \u2022 4 tbsp butter \u2022 1\/2 cup warm milk or cream (more if needed) \u2022 Salt (to taste) \u2022 Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Boil the Potatoes: \u2022 Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. \u2022 Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Boil for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender. 2. Steam Dry the Potatoes: \u2022 Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. \u2022 Return the potatoes to the hot pot and place it back on the stove over low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture (this helps them get fluffier). 3. Mash the Potatoes: \u2022 Use a potato masher or a ricer for an extra-fluffy texture. Mash the potatoes until smooth and free of lumps. 4. Add Butter and Milk: \u2022 Add the butter and stir it into the potatoes until fully melted. \u2022 Gradually add the warm milk or cream, stirring constantly until the potatoes are light and fluffy. You may need to add more milk if they are too thick. 5. Season and Serve: \u2022 Season with salt to taste and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. \u2022 Serve the fluffy potatoes alongside your barbacoa.<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
