Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place Anaheim and poblano peppers on top.
  2. 2 Roast peppers in the preheated oven until skins are charred and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add chipotle peppers and cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in enough water to cover the peppers; increase heat to medium-high. Weigh down the peppers with something heavy, like another pot, to keep them submerged. Simmer until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  4. 4 Remove Anaheim and poblano peppers from the oven. Let cool until easily handled. Peel and discard seeds. Mince peppers and place in a blender with the chipotle pepper mixture, garlic, and onion. Blend until smooth.
  5. 5 Pour beef broth and beer into a slow cooker. Stir in the blended pepper mixture, salt, cumin, pepper, marjoram, and allspice. Cut lime in half; squeeze juice into the slow cooker and toss in the lime halves. Add roast.
  6. 6 Cook on Low for 5 hours. Remove roast and shred the meat with 2 forks. Return to the slow cooker and simmer for 2 hours more. Use tongs to serve straight from the slow cooker.
