Equipment
Ingredients
For the roast:

- 1 ½ cup broth beef broth is best!
- ⅓ cup soy sauce or coconut aminos for gf option
- ¼ cup honey

- 1 tbsp arrowroot starch
- 1 tbsp water
- ½ lemon sliced

Instructions
Meal Prep Instructions:
- Chop the produce: Chop ends off 4 cups green beans, quarter 4 cups yukon potatoes. Refrigerate in air tight bags until ready to assemble meal
Meal Assembly Directions:
- Sear pot roast: Chop roast into 3-5 chunks. Generously season pot roast with salt and pepper on all sides. Sear each side in a large cast iron skillet on high heat until just crisped (about 5 min each side) then add to a crockpot
- Add liquid: in a large measuring cup add 1 1/2 cup broth, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar , 2 tsp ginger, 2 tsp garlic salt, whisk to combined and pour over crockpot roast. Top with fresh lemon slices and cook for 8 hours on low until meat is very tender and falls apart easily
- Once meat is done, cook potatoes and green beans: preheat oven to 400to a large baking sheet spread out prepped potatoes. Toss generously with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Push potatoes to the side and add prepped green beans, tossing generously with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for another 10 minutes until potatoes are tender and slightly charred and green beans have softened but still have a crunch to it!
- Meanwhile Shred roast: I recommend removing roast from liquid and pull off fat first before shredding rest of meat. Also remove lemons! Once roast is shredded, strain the remaining liquid over a fine mesh strainer and add to a small sauce pan
- Thicken Sauce: heat crockpot juices over medium heat. In a small bowl add 1 tbsp arrowroot starch, 1 tbsp water and stir to combine into a milky liquid. Once sauce is simmering slightly, add milky liquid and whisk continuously under liquid reduces and begins to thicken. It should easily coat the back of a spoon! This can take up to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Serve shredded roast with a serving of potatoes and green beans. Top everything with the slightly thickened sauce and enjoy!
Notes
Store potatoes, veggies and roast separately in a divided mea prep container as leftover and re-heat in a pan. Stores well for up to 5 days or meat freezes wonderfully for a future re-heat!
