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.

You have given me faith in my crock pot! (we are not normally friends) This turned out delicious! Huge hit during the Super Bowl last night. Thanks Juli! You are awesome.
Nothing makes me happier than when one of your recipes comes up in my Google search. Chuck roast in crock pot now an anticipation building…for 9 more hours! So often I just need verification that I’m heading in the right direction, though often I get so much more from you in terms of ideas and inspiration (and laughs). Thank you!
Would this work with venison roast? I have some in the freezer just waiting to be made into something fabulous. And can I throw a frozen roast in, or should it thaw first?
Absolutely, I would jut thaw it first
Incredible. Make it once every two weeks. Eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I am new to Paleo and have been really enjoying starting this new adventure in improving my health. i was recommended your website by several people and have not been disappointed. I have loved all your recipes and made this delicious beef dish tonight. It was a huge success! Thanks for all of your recommendations.
yeah i’m making this right now!!
Smells amazing raw…cant wait until all its delishes’ness (real word!!) is cooked together. Thanks for this beauty. I’ll share it with my mom protocol readers:)
Julie
What do you guys use for a paleo beef broth? Thanks
OH MY GOODNESS. This is so good. I love shredded pork in the crockpot, and I have made a few roasts with some success… This is THE BEST though.
My hubby said, “my mom makes a recipe and this tastes just like it… Which is awesome!” WIN.
(And even more of a win because I know she uses powdered onion soup, and all I used were spices and a choppity chopped onion… SUPER paleo win!)
Delicious! I used a 3 lb chuck roast and fresh pressed garlic instead of garlic powder. My family loved it!
This recipe looks totally doable on my level of cooking which is NONE. Question: meat frozen or thawed?
thawed would be better
About how many people would this recipe serve?
about 5-6
