 Eating low carb can take the fun out of any meal.  Add meal prep and lots of label reading, and it can be a job just to figure out what to eat. Might we suggest a flavorful and just mildly spicy (unless you decide to kick it up),  low carb Crock Pot beef barbacoa recipe?

This Crock Pot Beef Barbacoa recipe is layered with citrus flavors, chilis, and spices. Chuck roast is the perfect kind of low carb protein to slow cook. Your Crock Pot is a great kitchen assistant when it comes to cutting down on meal prep time. 

You can set a few days’ worths of a meal to cook in the morning, then go do your thing and come home to not only dinner but a few days of leftovers that are great for portioning. If you like your barbacoa spicy, then go ahead and add one or two more chilis.

If you like things more on the mild side, you might want to do one chili and cut back on the accompanying adobo sauce. When the beef is done cooking you will find you have plenty of sauce to spare.  You can pour it over your dinner, discard it or save a little to pour over your leftovers to keep them moist. 

 

Of course, you don’t want just a bowl of beef barbacoa, although it is low carb.  You can go wild on the low carb fixings. Serve the beef over a plate or bowl of shredded cabbage or lettuce and top with cilantro, cheese, avocado slices, and a little squeeze of lime.  It’s almost like an unstuffed burrito.

Low Carb Crock Pot Beef Barbacoa Ingredients

This low carb Crock Pot beef barbacoa recipe is one of our favorites because it utilizes beef chuck roast, one of the most affordable cuts of meat out there. That doesn’t mean the meat isn’t good; it will become amazing. It just needs a little help from things like onions, garlic, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and cumin.

There will also be chipotle chiles in adobo sauce. Those chiles will add a ton of flavor to this dish. In fact, these chiles are just as important as the meat itself.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the beef.  Brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.  When you are browning the second side, add the onions to the pan and let them cook slightly. 

Add the beef to your Crock Pot, then pour the sauce over the top.  Secure the Crock Pot lid and cook for 4-6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low.
