Machaca Noche De Enamorados is beef slow cooked in Mexican seasoning that you then shred for the most delicious tacos, burritos or enchiladas.  

Our Machaca Noche De Enamorados is packed with lots of different flavors. None that really stand out, but a nice blend of coffee, cinnamon, cocoa and chili that really comes together and gets all happy. It’s a long cook, but it’s super simple to make and well worth the time.

Note: Machaca Noche De Enamorados is “Machaca Night of Lovers”

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme.  Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Cooking Directions: Machaca Noche De Enamorados

We sprayed our Lodge 10qt. Dutch oven with the Duck Fat for easy clean up and at the same time more flavor. For more even cooking I cut the chuck roast into a few pieces and placed them into the Dutch oven. Mix in all of the ingredients from the 1^st ingredients list.

Preheat the grill to 350* (177c) and place your Dutch oven onto it. Cook 3 hours covered. Uncover then give things a stir and go for 3 more hours or until the meat is fork tender. I turned the meat over once so it would brown on both sides.

When your beef is fork tender bring it in and remove it from the broth. When it is cool enough to handle, string the beef and return it to your Dutch oven or if you want a break put it in the refrigerator over night. Chill the broth so the fat will separate over night also. Or if want to keep cooking put it in the freezer until it separates.

Note: The meat is eraser to string when it’s warm.

Add the meat to the Dutch oven with the ingredients from the second or “Sauce“list. Remove all the fat from your chilled broth and pour the broth into your Dutch oven. Back onto the grill now @ 350* (177c) for about 2 hours or until the onions are soft.

When you’re ready to serve using a slotted spoon place the Machaca Noche De Enamorados in your serving dish to make the best tacos, burritos or enchiladas you’ve ever had.

I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temps.

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Monument, Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
