Calories: 508kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Boneless Beef Chuck Shoulder Roast
  • 1 Orange, Zest and Juice
  • 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Aminos
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced (about 3 tsp)
  • 1 tbsp fresh Ginger Root, grated (about a 1-inch piece, no need to peel)

Instructions

To Freeze:

  • Put all of the ingredients into a 1-gallon freezer bag.
  • Massage lightly with your hands to mix the ingredients.
  • Push all the air out of the bag, seal, label and freeze.

To Cook:

  • To serve, thaw and do one of the following:

Oven:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Pour the contents of the bag into a large baking dish or dutch oven.
  • Cook for 3-4 hours, checking after an hour to see if the roast seems dry.
    If so, add some beef or chicken stock or water to the pot.
  • Cook until fork tender.

Instant Pot:

  • **Add 1/2 cup of water to the basin of your Instant Pot along with the ingredients.
  • Cook for 60 minutes at high pressure on Manual in an Instant Pot.
  • Let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes when the cooking is done.

Slow Cooker:

  • Cook for 6-8 hours on low.
  • Remove the roast from the slow cooker, shred the beef, and put it back into the juices.

Notes

Substitutions:
Coconut-free? Either omit the coconut aminos or you could also make your own coconut-free coconut aminos using this recipe by Mel Joulwan. I recommend making a batch of this and freezing it in an ice cube tray, giving you approx 2 tbs of "coconut aminos/soy sauce" per ice cube to use whenever you need it!
Additional Tips:
This goes well with Roasted Broccoli, Roasted Diced Sweet Potato, Mashed Cauliflower
