    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
    • 1 cup beef broth
    • 1 lime, juiced
  • For the Tacos:
    • Corn or flour tortillas
    • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
    • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
    • 1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely diced
    • Fresh cilantro leaves
    • Lime wedges
    • Optional: Sliced red chilies for extra heat

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Wagyu Beef:
    • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
    • In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
    • Rub the Wagyu beef roast with olive oil and then coat it with the spice mixture.
    • In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat a little more olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned.
    • Add beef broth and lime juice to the pot. Cover with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for about 3-4 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
  2. Shred the Beef:
    • Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the beef using two forks and mix it with the juices in the pot to keep it moist and flavorful.
  3. Assemble the Tacos:
    • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until lightly charred.
    • Place a generous amount of shredded Wagyu beef onto each tortilla.
    • Top with pomegranate seeds, diced red onion, diced green bell pepper, and fresh cilantro leaves.
    • Serve with lime wedges and optional sliced red chilies for an extra kick.
  4. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Arrange the tacos on a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before eating.
