Ingredients

Marinade:

  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Amino
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Aminos Teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Green Chilies

Everything Else:

  • 1/2 cup chicken or beef broth
  • 2 lbs. grass-fed short rib boneless or bone-in*

Spicy Mayo (for serving):

  • 1/4 cup homemade mayo or store-bought avocado oil mayo
  • 2-4 teaspoons sriracha depending on desired level of spice

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix together marinade ingredients.
  • Place oven on broil setting (high). Season meat generously with sea salt and pepper. Place on a sheet pan under the broiler for 4 minutes on each side, until tops are browned.
  • Place meat into your slow cooker.
  • Pour marinade over, pour in beef or chicken broth, and set on low for 8-10 hours.
  • Once done, shred meat off bones for tacos, or serve over Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes!

Notes

  • Often you get more flavor with bone-in meat, but either will work perfectly for this dish!
