Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 0.3333 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Sear the beef roast on all sides until nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side.
Transfer the beef to a slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, honey, paprika, smoked paprika, ground mustard, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until combined.
Add the water to the mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce is well blended. Let it simmer for 3 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the beef in the slow cooker, ensuring the beef is thoroughly coated.
Cover the slow cooker, set it to low heat, and cook for 8 hours. The beef should be tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
Once done cooking, carefully remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker to soak up more of the BBQ sauce for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo BBQ beef with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
