Salsa Verde Shredded Beef

This recipe post has been revised and updated from it’s original version (Nov 2014).

Slow cooker recipes don’t get easier than this Salsa Verde Shredded Beef!

3 ingredients + 6 hours = DELICIOUSNESS

Yep, you read that right, only 3 ingredients. Yay, for simplicity!

A bowl of roast beef with salsa verde drizzled and chopped cilantro.

This shredded beef is perfect to top a taco salad, yet equally wonderful in tacos and burritos, and burrito bowls. I know this recipe will make your “Favorite Recipes” binder.  It’s that good!

This Crock Pot Salsa Verde Shredded Beef recipe is both simple, healthy, and filling.

If you are like me and L-O-V-E salads almost more than life itself, you know that the secret to a great salad are the toppings.

Crock Pot Salsa Verde Shredded Beef | This is the best slow cooker recipe I have found to cook beef roasts in the crockpot! Use the meat in gluten free and easy tacos, dairy free burritos, keto riced cauliflower bowls, Mexican sandwiches or on low carb salads. Simple meat recipes like this are my go-tos when I need healthy and clean eating comfort food. Easy and delicious dinners like this are made for families of all sizes, any day of the week (not just Sunday dinners), all year long!

This protein is the icing on the cake, so to speak, on a bed of greens or in a burrito bowl with riced cauliflower, pico de gallo, fire roasted corn, a few chopped veggies, and avocado or guacamole. I don’t even need a dressing because the juice from the meat does the trick.

Thank you salsa verde and ranch dressing mix! YUM!

3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Shredded Beef is what's for dinner! Share on X

I make this Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Shredded Beef year round. It feels comforting in the cold winter months but equally delicious in the hot summer months.

A beautiful bowl of riced cauliflower, pico de gallo, fire roasted corn, lettuce, avocado, and Mexican shredded beef surrounded by fresh cilantro and bowls of ingredients.

This crock pot meal along with my “One and Only Crock Pot Chicken” are by far my go-to meals during busy weeks. Who am I kidding? They are my go-to meals if I have the slowest week ever. Ha!

Prepare a double batch of this recipe and freeze half! Why go to all the work of thawing out one roast when you can easily make two meals for one effort?

I have found any cut of beef roast will work in this simple recipe, you can’t go wrong. Get crazy, and try a game roast- elk, venison, or buffalo!

If you don’t have a ranch seasoning packet, did you know you can make your own? By adding a few simple pantry spices together you can create your own seasoning mix.
