There’s something about meat that when it becomes shredded, it’s tastes SO much better than it would have in chunks or strips or as a steak. It’s true. Sometimes I’ll just get a huge craving for shredded meat and have to utilize my crock pot to it’s full potential. Full potential meaning me being a lazy ass and the crock pot just doing it’s job. I could eat shredded meat for every single meal AND snack and be completely content with life. It’s the small things.
But please don’t think this recipe is something elaborate or creative or really even should be called a recipe. I just wanted shredded beef for breakfast and was too lazy to do anything else. The title of this recipe should be ‘Easy as Fu Shredded Beef because I’m too lazy to try to come up with something on a Friday Night…yes I’m staying in on a Friday Night…by myself, with my nighty and warm booties on.’ Good title? Don’t worry, I watched ‘Friends with Benefits’ in my warm booties. Funny as sh*t. I wish Justin Timberlake was my best friend…and always naked.
Wanna know about my Sunday?! Of course you do. I had Kaladi coffee because I’m smart. Then I coached at CrossFit Broadway because I wanted to start my day off right. Then Laura and I went shopping at H&M. Sh*t show. So many females. So much estrogen. So many accessories. Then we had some boba tea at Lollicup. It’s this weird milkshake/slushy tea thing with tapioca balls in the bottom. They give you these big straws to suck the balls of goo out of the bottom of the cup. I almost choked on one. Slick lil boogas. They taste like nothing. Like if you were eating gummy bears that taste like carpet. That’s kinda what it’s like. I don’t even know what tapioca is. Yes, I know it’s not paleo for all your psychos out there. No, I don’t give a sh*t. Then I ate $6.18 worth of dark chocolate walnuts. I was a bit full. Then we watched ‘Crazy Stupid Love’ and it made me smile. I think I might still believe in love. Maybe, just maybe. Oh, and I’m eating cinnamon sauteed apples…I burnt them, like completely burnt them. I still ate them all. I don’t waste food. Mama didn’t raise no foo.
Oh yeah, then Laura ordered Jimmy John’s to see how long it took. 12:13. Disappointing. No, I didn’t eat Jimmy John’s. I would be be so sick. Tapioca balls won that fight.

I like where your head’s at…I happen to have 2 4lb chuck roasts in the freezer. Just a side note, i have found that with shredded meat, that julienning (sp) bell peppers and poblanos, pan searing in coconut oil and adding to meat that has been sitting at least 12 hours in the fridge is awesome…and since your a coconut addict, you may want to try 🙂
I like where your head is at rob since my real name is Julienne. My mother named me after a way to slice veggies. I was destined to love food. That sounds FANTASTIC!
Second entry I have read… I love your energy in your posts. Maybe it’s just because I imagine you talking at 100 words per second as I read it. I don’t know. Regardless, I can’t wait to read more but this pesky little thing known as work is calling.
Lol I totally do talk 100 words per second a lot of the time. You’re spot on
This looks amazing! Going to be cooking this over the weekend. BTW, also really like how you start off this recipe “pull out crockpot”! That really appeals to my sense of humour 😉
Lol the truth is sometimes hilarious
Haha! Yeah the truth is! 😉 Because it’s true! Haha. Too much philosophy? Maybe? 😉
Holy cannoli this was stinking awesome. Shred like a dream. One of your many delicious recipes. Next on the list: those caramel pecan bars. They may be my lunch tomorrow.
haha thats awesome Rachael!! Glad you liked it and hope you like the bars!
AMAZING!!!! I just found you blog and there are so many more recipes I am excited to try! Thanks for helping make my Paleo transition easier!! Btw, where do you get your awesome headbands/wraps?
Thanks so much!! Lululemon and Lucy!!
OMG! This was so delicious, I tricked my mom and my 18-year-old brother, who both think I’m crazy for eating paleo, into liking this. I even cut up some carrots and added them in, because let’s face it, cooked carrots that taste like meat are the shit!
I love your entire website. I’m ordering a tank and headband as soon as I get paid tomorrow. And I keep looking at all your dessert recipes that I am going to try in 29 days when I’m done with the paleo lifestyle challenge we have going on at CrossFit 816!
Can’t wait til you can try them!! Tell everyone at your gym they should celebrate with some desserts on my site 🙂 and thank you so much for you support Adri!
Looking to try this with 2-3lbs of stew meat I have. Stick to this layout or try something different?
i have mushroom and beef stew you should try!!
Hi there! I’m new to paleo and cooking (double whammy!), what kind of chicken broth do you use? And I’m not a fan of onions, (well, onion rings weird right, hmmm maybe i’ll just try the onions.. since i can’t have onion rings) but any other suggestions to replace the onions….thanks!!
You don’t really need the onions, they just give it a bit of flavor. Now a days, I just use vegetable broth because it has no added sugars. Just look at the different brands and ingredients in them at your store!
This recipe looks amazing! Can I use a roast on this, and I am having a party and plan on making this, there will be approximately 10 people, how many pounds should I cook? Thank you!
A roast would work i’m sure! I’m thinking 5-7 lbs probably!
Thank you so much for your help 🙂
Where can I get the nutrition info on all these recipes?
On a nutritional facts website. I don’t look at that stuff.
