Pulled Beef OR Pork
First thing this morning I threw a pot roast into the crock pot with a good dose of lime juice, cilantro and garlic. It cooked covered on high for 7 hours and then I pulled it apart, strained the liquid, cooled then separated the fat and broth. Discarded the fat and added the broth back to the meat.
