Notes

  • For the perfect shredded beef in the crockpot you will want to follow the first two steps in the recipe. Next you will need a skillet to sauté the oil and onions and sear the beef for a few minutes on each side. While the beef is searing grab your crockpot and add the orange juice, beef broth and tomato paste and mix. When the beef has been seared, pour the beef and the sautéed onions into your crockpot. You can cook on low for 6-8 hrs, or high for 3-5 hrs.
