Step 1
Season beef chunks with salt and pepper on all sides.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches; cook until browned, about 1 minute per side. Transfer beef to a slow cooker.
Step 3
Combine beef broth, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, and cloves in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Pour over beef in the slow cooker. Stir in bay leaves.
Step 4
Cook on Low until beef is fork-tender, 8 to 10 hours.
