I'm Mexican and I have to compliment 1) your corn tortilla puff and 2) your respect for the dish. It's true that barbacoa can be made different ways but you nailed the concept of a good barbacoa. Great job!

[@AbeEmersonJr]

Bro, I'm at the bottom tip of Texas and you do Texas BBQ and Mexican food like you're from here!!! Hell, BETTER than almost anyone I know! I appreciate how you REALLY KNOW how this all goes down!

[@bluerosevibes5326]

I used to live at the bottom of texas too I'm tex-mex and I approve of this video 🤤

[@benugdsen75]

I love how Chef Tom is pleasantly surprised by his own cooking. 👍🏾

[@PeterRJM]

Love this ATBBQ keep em coming. Thanks Chef Tom

[@levivillars461]

My man didn't even wait to take both gloves off before digging into those tacos. Looks amazing!

[@maritzamedina5069]

Growing up my grandfather would dig a hole and make a fire inside with mesquite and once it was ready he would wrap head of cow in banana leaf or foil and put it in hole and pit a piece of ply board to cover and cover it with dirt. Left it all night and in the morning he would remove dirt then ply board and pull out cow head. Ready to eat. Where I live true barbacoa is sold on Saturday and sundays. It’s tradition in Deep South Texas.

[@ivse9696]

Chef Tom - YES I enjoy this video so much 👍👍👍

[@mattc7311]

If this doesnt make me hate my lunch even more. Keep em coming chef! Thanks for all the great recipes.

[@Garth2011]

Interesting recipe, thank you for sharing. Since you asked for viewer requests, maybe a handful of chicken, beef, pork cooked on the spit or rotisserie. Talk about tender and flavorful yields, we have had food many times cooked with that method and cannot stress enough how different a simple whole chicken turns out and to top that off, often we will stuff the chickens with citrus such as quartered seedless oranges. Thanks again.

[@insomnianmv]

Tacos are life!!!

[@martinn.6082]

I enjoy how educated he is about the dishes’ history and origins, he really knows his stuff. Always a nice touch. Edit: I feel like he deliberately used corn tortillas this time, since a lot of people were noticing the flour ones in other videos.

[@otroems]

excellent, not in the traditional Mexican way but I should try it, thanks

[@sj1roese]

I’m not normally a fan of atbbq or chef tom tbh, however, I made these for dinner this evening and they are 🔥🔥🔥. Respect

[@bl8991]

Great recipe! Cant wait to try, I love tacos!

[@dennisramos1290]

Down here in South Texas (Laredo), Barbacoa means cow tongue :) delicious in tacos w/ salsa verde

[@karltontatsch7101]

really thought lingua was what we called tongue here in Texas well atleast where I grew up

[@jakegulotta]

Chef Tom you are frickin legit dude!

[@pablojpadilla9460]

Looks appetizing!!! Can't wait to try!

[@rottvang]

Just made this. Delicious, especially in a burrito

[@MrAllaboutmetal]

You had me at short rib :o) One of my favourites to smoke but full rack of beef shorties

[@BrianMcNay]

Great work! Looks amazing!

Excelente 👏👏👏Saludos desde Argentina! Increíble trabajo chef Tom!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That looks so good. Amazing!

[@DongLabUTHSCSA]

Hey Chef Tom, great video as usual! Is there a reason to not sear the ribs in the cast iron before the braise? Thanks!

[@PacoMileHigh]

Will ruin the crust you build by searing

[@DongLabUTHSCSA]

@@PacoMileHigh ? Its going in raw into the braise, there is no crust to ruin. I usually sear before braising just to add more flavor from the fond. Maybe it wouldnt be good to sear and then grill afterwards?

[@richiesbbq]

I would like to know too!! Two years ago? Unsubscribed...

[@1313blahblah]

Cant wait to get there!😊

[@300blk8]

I don't know if I can watch this I love beef short ribs👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@StoneMountainAdventures]

That looks amazing! Need to try out that sauce... I also have beard envy... lol

[@andrewh3177]

What’s the philosophy behind getting the short ribs up to that 200*F internal temp? Just to ensure the tenderness?

[@natejm]

I’m not one to argue with results, especially these ones... But I have never started a braise without first browning the meat to add some colour and depth of flavour. Mexican is a food style I was never trained in, but you make it look damn delicious. If you could shed some light on any particular reasons why you didn’t brown or sear the short ribs before starting the braise? Would it be safe to assume it is because of the grilling and charring at the end of the cook? Have never seen a braise started like this and finish that nice...

[@jameslam9996]

I asume the meat was not seared because he was grilling it after cooking it in the skillet, however the traditional way to prepare this dish doesn't require to brown or grill the meat, by cooking it with the steam it releases from its own juices being evaporated no broth or another liquid has to be added, it's usually cooked on low heat for up to 8 or more hours and the final result is super tender with a really intense flavour.

I'll try, but I don't like cilantro

[@NickaKFC]

Of course, Taco Tuesday!

[@drillsgtlangdon]

Your right, barbacoa is (by definition, smoked pulled meat), however, Barbacoa is traditionally meat from the head

[@texasforever5776]

True barbacoa is goat..

[@parkerinthephilippines]

😍😍😍

[@TheRunningBear]

It looks so yummy. As a mexican , it seems more like an "adobo" more than barbacoa, but still looking great!

[@100ccollier]

Braised meat with marinade. Good alternative method if you don’t know how to cook food in the ground. Nice mahi. 👍

[@ugotthicksinceuhadthatbaby4279]

Man that looks so good holy shit

[@CajunSmack]

This presented to me on a food truck at 2:30 in the morning would cause me to kick my girlfriend to the curb. And I wouldn't regret it.

Who is buying all the cheeks and whole heads of beef?

[@nimo921]

Looks awesome. But chop that cilantro up my man. All of it came out in one bite.

[@rayborrego7550]

Shredded pork IS NOT carnitas!

[@allthingsbbq]

He never said all shredded pork was carnitas, but carnitas is traditionally braised and shredded (or sometimes chopped) pork.

Finally first!

[@soychuckles]

@allthingsbbq I'd like to see you try your hand at discada tacos. traditionally, it's prepared in a disk harrow you'd find on a large tiller, but any large cast iron or even a dutch oven works great. bacon, sausage, ham, chorizo, and beef flank in stages (i prefer in that order also), followed by onion, tomatoes, peppers, and garlic. it all comes together great and makes wonderful Sunday morning tacos.

[@somedude0505]

Thank you chef for this video. I actually suggested barbacoa a few months ago in a previous video. Im making this next weekend!!!

[@kingdiazdaniel]

I’m Mexican 🇲🇽 and I approve this video... 👍🏽

Chef Tom you are the MAN! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Takusanmizu77]

I made this recipe yesterday, my first from The Sauce, and it was holy shit delicious. I vamped the rub, used avocado oil in place of duck fat, braised on the stop top but finished the short ribs over lump charcoal on my Weber kettle. Love the show and this recipe is so easy yet devastatingly good. Thanks Tom.

[@texasforever5776]

What's a stop top lol

[@Takusanmizu77]

@@texasforever5776 fuck man, I wish I knew. that was 2 years ago! ohhhh wait. Stove Top!!

[@joevanlith4174]

Sausage video start to finish?

[@ArkansasBadBoy]

I totally understand that sauce; I get beef marrow bones and cook them on the smoker while I prepare homemade enchilada sauce (chili California and chili Arbol based). Once that bone marrow goes in, there's an amazing boost in flavor that just cannot be described. I love this take you have on Barbacoa and I will replicate this dish for my family very soon. Good stuff

[@randyrrandelson6444]

That sounds awesome. I am going to try that.

I know what I'm trying next weekend. Also that pour from the cast iron to the blender letting us know that BBQ can be messy and that's fine! Also 13:10 the sizzling on the plate....wow nice.

[@rogue109]

That looks amazing! If I can figure out where to get some beef ribs cut that way, or even longer...I'm totally doing this soon!

[@chads7796]

Best looking tacos I have ever seen. I will be making this ASAP. Awesome stuff Chef Tom!!

[@BushiBato]

they will be some of the best tasting tacos you will ever taste.Also many traditional recipes have bitter orange in the sauce to compliment the cumin but especially the inherent flavor of smoked chilies,you might wanna get a bottle of that too,just add to taste,a little goes a long way.BTW the Chili Peppers rule! :)

[@jayantyadav311]

The aloof vegetarian roughly weigh because army histologically introduce among a wealthy bumper. nifty, roasted felony

[@IAMBIGSPOON09]

My only suggestion to improve this otherwise perfect dish, would be that you washed your seasoning off the ribs with pouring the beef stock on them. Pour it down the side of the pan. Probably not a huge difference but I know we all aim for perfection.

Great recipe, Chef Tom! Definitely need to do this but I am thinking I would need to eat first or I would scarf up those ribs before I got to the tacos.

I ,presently, don't have access. To a smoker for many reasons, what do think about an oven for these recipes ? .
