Ingredients

  • FOR THE SWEET POTATOES
  • 3-4 sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • FOR THE BBQ BEEF
  • 3 lb beef chuck roast
  • 1 cup beef bone broth
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or avocado oil
  • ½ onion chopped in half
  • 2-3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper omit for AIP
  • 1.5 cups compliant BBQ sauce I use this for AIP
  • 2 tbsp cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Set the Instant pot (see notes for slow cooker instructions) to sauté and melt 1 tbsp of coconut oil
  • Add in the chuck roast, season with salt and pepper, and satue the chuck roast until lightly browned (this takes 4-5 minutes)
  • Add in the broth, red onion, and garlic
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot, seal the valve, and set it to MANUAL for 60 minutes
  • While the roast begins to cook, set the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Scrub the sweet potatoes well, rub them in coconut oil, and make a slit down the center
  • Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 45-60 minutes or until cooked through (cooking time varies depending on the size)
  • Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and set aside
  • Once the Instant Pot is done and the roast in cooked, carefully quick release the pressure
  • Remove the lid on the instant pot and spoon out the excess broth (save it for soup... it's delicious!) and the onion
  • Pour in the BBQ sauce of choice and shred the roast to incorporate with the BBQ sauce
  • Stuff the sweet potatoes with the BBQ beef and top with cilantro to serve

Notes

If using a slow cooker instead of an instant pot, follow all of the other instructions and simply set the slow cooker to 8 hours on low! Easy modification :)
