5 dried chipotle chile peppers
½ medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ cup tomato paste
1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
6 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (3 pound) beef shoulder roast, trimmed
¾ cup beef broth
3 bay leaves
