Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 6-7 hours
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 5 lbs Grass-Fed Beef Roast (e.g., chuck roast or top round roast)
- 4 oz serving
- 5 slices Pastured Pork Bacon, chopped
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce (Want homemade BBQ sauce? Find the recipe here!)
- 1 tsp Smoked Sea Salt
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
Directions:
- Cook Bacon: Place the chopped bacon into the slow cooker. Turn it on to sauté (if your slow cooker has this feature) or cook it on a skillet beforehand until crispy. Drain excess grease, leaving a little for flavor.
- Prepare the Beef: Cut the grass-fed beef roast into smaller chunks to fit into the slow cooker and ensure even cooking.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the beef chunks into the slow cooker with the bacon. Pour the BBQ sauce over the beef, sprinkle with smoked sea salt and black pepper, and mix everything to coat well.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook for 6–7 hours or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Serve: Serve with roasted vegetables, a side salad, or mashed sweet potatoes for a balanced and healthy meal.
