Ingredients
- 3 pounds bottom round roast, well-trimmed

- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced into half moons
- 1 tablespoon honey

Preparation
- Place sliced onion in slow cooker.

- Add apple juice and spices to pan. Loosen browned bits from bottom of pan with spatula. Allow juice to simmer until reduced by approximately half.

- Remove beef from slow cooker to a deep platter or serving bowl. Shred using two forks.
- Pour juice into a medium saucepan. Bring to simmer.Â

Helpful hints
- Number of servings may vary depending on yield of meat.
- This beef is delicious served in flour tortillas (think carne asada burrito) or on crusty rolls.
- Serve with coleslaw or cucumber and onion salad.Â
- Divide extra into portions and freeze for a quick meal later.
- For a lower protein diet reduce portion size to match your meal planÂ
