Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless chuck roast
- 2 large yellow onions
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Slice the onions into thin rings and mince the garlic cloves. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and onion powder. Rub this spice mix all over the chuck roast.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared roast to a slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes, just until they start to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Transfer the onions and garlic to the slow cooker, placing them around and on top of the roast.
In a measuring cup, combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and beef broth. Pour the mixture over the beef and onions in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred the meat using two forks.
Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and mix well with the onions and juices.
Taste for seasoning and adjust with more salt and pepper if needed before serving.
