How are your healthy new year’s resolutions going? We are still adhering to the Wahls Protocol. Mr. Peel is feeling better than ever. Sticking to the paleo based diet like Wahls, AIP or Whole30 can be hard without the right recipes. We have developed an arsenal of make ahead and crockpot meals like this citrus shredded beef.

It has Caribbean inspired flavors that stand on their own but also make a great base for so many options. We especially love it on lettuce wraps with shredded carrots, radishes and the easiest four-ingredient avocado sauce (which is always in our fridge or as the topping for our Sweet Potato Nachos). Yum.

How to Make Citrus Shredded Beef in the Slow Cooker

Put the beef, citrus, onions and spices in the crock pot. Cook on low heat until beef it fall apart tender. About 6 hours. I don’t bother searing the meat first unless I decide to make this in the oven.

Which works just like a braised. Sear, deglaze the pan, add the remaining ingrediants and cover.  Bake at 325 F degrees for 3 hours. You can also giv ehtis recipe a try in your Instant Pot!

Essentially you can make citrus hredded beef in the manner that is easiest for you. Who doesn’t love a recipe that conforms to you?  Oh, you?  Then give our Pork Roast with Apples a try too!

And honestly, if you can make this, you can absolutely make our Nitrate-Free Corned Beef. Give it a try!

    What a great flavor combination for beef. Normally I think of citrus with poultry, pork, or fish and only lime with beef. But your combination sounds marvelous. What a flavor-packed meal. Certainly, if you’re dieting and eating this you don’t feel deprived!!

    Who doesn’t love shredded beef? In my opinion, it’s so much better than pulled pork! I have a shredded beef recipe already, but mine does not include any cloves or citrus and I absolutely love both of those flavours. I’m making this right now!

    I love the addition of the cloves and citrus! Shredded beef is so good, and I love the serving suggestion in butter lettuce wraps! What a delicious meal!
