Holy fakeout-takeout.
I want to say holy guacamole. But that wouldn’t make sense with a fakeout-takeout kind of Asian dish like this.
So, holy fakeout-takeout.
This shredded beef is so delicious. And it’s so easy to through together with a fabulous homemade Asian sauce.
And…freezer friendly too!
Love me a beef roast that can go freezer to slow cooker in just a matter of minutes!
Let me know how you enjoy this delicious dinner 🙂

You say I can put a frozen roast in the crock pot and have dinner on the table with minimal work that night? I’m intrigued. Does the frozen-ness of the meat affect cook time? My problem is that it’s usually 10 or 11 hours between when I leave for work and when I get home and need dinner ready, so often crock pot meals get overdone and all dried out. If I put it in frozen does that lengthen the cooking time enough that it would be ready in 11 hours instead of just 8? I don’t have a timer function on my crock pot and don’t want to leave the meal sitting in a non-heating crock pot anyway.
