Slow Cooker or Crockpot Method
1. In a small bowl, mix together beef stock, arrowroot flour, garlic, serrano pepper, bay leaves, coco aminos, honey, ground ginger, ground mustard, grated ginger, red chili flakes, fish sauce, lime juice, lime zest salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Using a few paper towels, pat roast dry (this step helps with browning). Sprinkle roast generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add roast and brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
3. Remove roast from skillet and transfer to your slow cooker. Pour marinade mixture over beef. Cover with celery and onions.
4. Add in carrots after 2 hours of cooking. (This prevents carrots from getting overcooked).
5. Cook covered on low setting until meat is fork tender, about 5-6 hours OR you can cook on high for 3-4 hours.
6. Remove from heat, shred the meat with two forks and serve with optional garnishes.
