Preparation Time10 min

Cooking Time10 hr

Cooking MethodSlow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 pound lean chuck roast, cubed into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 1 apple, grated
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon steak sauce
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. To make the sauce, stir together all of the sauce ingredients and set it aside.
     
  2. To load the slow cooker, stir together the grated zucchini, apple, carrot and onion and place it into the bottom of the slow cooker.
     
  3.  Add the beef with some salt and pepper to taste and pour over the sauce.
     
  4. Cover it, set the slow cooker to low and let it cook for 8 to 10 hours.
     
  5. After about the first two hours you’ll want to skim off any scum that rises to the top. If you won’t be around to do this step, I’d suggest you start with meat that has been browned prior to adding it to the pot.
     
  6. When the beef is done, raise the temperature to high, remove the beef, and shred it before returning it to the pot to simmer uncovered until the sauce has reduced to a consistency you’re happy with and then it’s ready to serve.
