Ingredients
- 1 cup of beef stock
- ¼ cup of brown sugar
- ¼ cup of honey or honey sticks
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 pounds of your choice of boneless beef cut
Instructions
Begin by placing the beef stock, brown sugar, honey sticks, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic into a bowl. Using a whisk, mix the ingredients until everything is evenly combined, then pour into the slow cooker. Next, it’s time to prep the beef cuts. Slice the beef down the middle, lengthwise, and add them into the slow cooker as well. To ensure an even cook, it’s important that you place the beef cuts side-by-side in the slow cooker rather than one on top of the other. Finally, set the slow cooker to cook on low for 8 hours.
After the 8 hours are up, remove the beef from the slow cooker. On a cutting board, shred the beef using two forks to pull apart the meat. Toss the beef shreds back into the slow cooker and mix to combine with the sauce. Your honey garlic shredded beef is now ready to serve!
