Delicious Shredded BBQ Beef Recipe

A few days ago, I made my Instant Pot roast beef recipe, and let’s just say I made a little too much… like I still have at least 3 days worth of leftovers. Whoops!

I mean don’t get me wrong. I LOVE leftovers, especially a beef recipe like this. It was so juicy and tender…but I’m running out of ideas on how else to eat the leftovers.

Then, I saw one of my good friends post a picture of her Sunday BBQ and it looked amazing! I was suddenly inspired to turn this leftover beef into a BBQ recipe. It’s SO easy and mouthwatering. It really is packed full of flavor.

Don’t have any leftover beef? You can use leftover shredded chicken or pork as well. If you are looking for a vegan option, you can swap out the beef for jackfruit. It acts (and similarly tastes) just like pork.

That’s one of the best parts of this recipe…it’s super versatile!
