Notes
I have a newer slow cooker
. The meat was done after 3.5 hours on high.
The cooked beef can be frozen for later use. Cool it completely, then transfer to a freezer safe bag or storage container. Freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight and heat in a pan on the stovetop, or in the microwave.
To make this in the oven instead of a crockpot, preheat the oven to 325°. Add all of the ingredients to an oven-safe dish and cover it. Place the dish in the center of the oven, and roast for 3.5–4 hours, or until the meat shreds easily with a fork.
