This Slow Cooker AIP Shredded Beef recipe is amazing. It’s savory and rich which can be hard in a slow cooker. The trick is the searing of the meat before you start cooking it in the slow cooker and then adding in all the spices. It’s an amazing recipe all around.
Sprouts had a sale on grassfed chuck roast and I bought them out. Since I had 5 chuck roasts in the fridge, I figured that I better find a good recipe. It took a few tries but this was the winner. I can’t wait for the next sale to stock up of this cheap cut of meat!
This recipe has been giving me life lately. I’ve been battling my chronic health issues so my energy is at a low point. This recipe is so nice because it’s just so easy to make, it makes a ton and tastes amazing. It may take 8 hours to cook but I only have to 10 minutes out of my day to prepare it. 10 minutes is doable. I can do that while my son is eating breakfast. Easy peasy.

My family and I really enjoyed this on a busy night when the kids had drama practice and soccer and very little time to eat when we got home. It was even great tasting in sandwiches the next day.
Can you make this an an instant pot?
Technically you could however, I feel like some of the flavor would change. The slow cooker lets out a bit of steam where the instant pot keeps it all in watering down the flavor slightly. However, if time is an issue give the instant pot a try. Just report back and let me know how it went.
Cooked this today! The meat was so tender and delicious. I served with sweet potato mash and it was a hit with all. Thanks so much for sharing.
I'm so glad you liked it. I make this regularly. In fact, I'm making it this week!
Hi. I do not have a slow cooker. Can I cook on he stove on low for 8 hours.
I've never tried it but in theory it should work. Let me know if it works or not.
