Crock Pot Paleo Beef Roast Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons ghee, grass-fed butter, or tallow
• 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2″ chunks
• 1 medium yellow onion, sliced

How To Make Crock Pot Paleo Beef Roast

1. Season the roast: Rub the chuck roast all over with sea salt and black pepper.
2. Sear the beef: Heat ghee in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
3. Layer veggies and roast: Place carrots, onion, potatoes, and celery into the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the seared roast on top.
4. Add flavor and broth: Sprinkle in thyme, garlic, additional sea salt, and pour in the beef broth.
5. Slow cook until tender: Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
6. Shred and serve: Remove the roast, shred it with two forks, and optionally cut the potatoes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
7. Optional gravy: To make gravy, pour slow cooker broth into a saucepan. Whisk tapioca starch with 3 tbsp beef broth, then stir into the saucepan. Simmer 1–2 minutes, stirring until thickened.

Recipe Tips

  Use arrowroot or tapioca starch to create a paleo-friendly gravy.
