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.

hey juli! you, your blog, and your recipes are the sh*t. bottom line. end of story. in my head, you’re my friend 🙂 quick question…I always feel like i get warned & threatened not to put raw meat directly in the crock pot. that i’m supposed to brown it first or something. necessary or unnecessary?
well, all i could find at the store that was grass fed was rump roast. i hope that works. i’ve never cooked it before but the sirloins weren’t organic and i’m very concerned about only being organic, grass fed meat. i’m gonna make it with the mushroom gravy you used for the salisbury steaks recipe. so excited to see how it turns out as all my family eats it’s total junk food. they better enjoy this high class meal of mine
Seriously was so good!!! My man and I loved it! Was great after our three wods we did today! Added a little green pepper to it, and ooooh so good! Thanks for the recipe! Love this site!
In my crockpot, RIGHT NOW. Cannot wait for steps 8 and 9!
OMG so easy and so good!
Made this last night. Where, shredded beef in a crock pot, have you been all my life?
I’m STUNNED at how amazingly good this recipe is! I just put it on around noon for supper tonight – cooked for about 4.5 hrs. on high in the crock-pot. Next time I’ll throw in my carrots, too, instead of making glazed carrots later. This is my first week going paleo, so thanks for helping me make a great statement for my husband who’s reluctant! 🙂
Juli –
Thank you so much for rocking the judging crew at our Crocktoberfest. You definitely brought credibility to our event!
Thanks again!
I absolutely LOVE your recipes!!! I have made this beef like 6 times already!!! I enjoy your website soooo much and tell anyone who will listen to check it out!!!
Thank you for the recipe! I had it cook overnight and just had some with avocado for breakfast this morning. Yum! I usually don’t have much luck with slow cooker recipes (that is how bad a cook I am) but this turned out great.
