After being home a couple days, I am missing the bustling city. You might be thinking, but you live in Los Angeles that is a huge city. Well I actually moved back to Oklahoma a little before Thanksgiving. Yup I have been back in the Midwest for almost three months now. I loved living in Los Angeles, but all of my family lives in the Midwest, which ultimately drew me back. I’m not sure if Oklahoma is a final resting place or not, but right now I am simply focusing on doing what I love. I moved to Los Angeles three years ago with no job and knowing almost no one but made it work. I’m confident I will find the perfect place to settle down when the time is right. For now, I am young and have plans to travel and truly embrace life.
Phew. Not that is over, we can get onto the food! Roast is a great cut of meat that isn’t too expensive to get grass-fed. I saw a recipe for Mississippi roast and knew I needed to make a paleo version asap. The meat basically falls apart when shredded. It is so moist and delicious! I used my easy ranch seasoning that I always keep on hand. It adds just a burst of flavor and you don’t have to worry about it having weird ingredients like most store bought ranch seasoning.
Update: This Mississippi Roast has become a family favorite! I’ve made it countless times, and my mom even requested it for Christmas dinner! Sometimes I double the peperoncinis because everyone fights over who gets them in the end!
Ingredients
- 5 1/2 pound grass-fed chuck roast
- 4 tbls easy ranch seasoning
- 1 cup organic beef broth
- 1 tbls coconut aminos
- 10 peperoncinis
- 3 tbls ghee, I use OMGhee
Directions
- Place roast in crockpot with beef broth.
- Sprinkle ranch seasoning evenly all over the roast.
- Drizzle coconut aminos over the roast and place peperoncinis around the roast.
- Scoop ghee on the top of the roast.
- Set to low and cook for 8 hours.
- Remove from pot and shred with two forks.
Notes
This recipe can easily be cut in half for a smaller serving size!
Enjoy!

Looks delicious! My daughter told me about a similar recipe on Pinterest. Her family loves it.
I am just beginning to go the Paleo route so I was excited to see this recipe. I’m looking forward to trying it. I saved this web page on my recipe favorites.
Thanks again.

Thank you! I’m excited you found my blog. Congrats on starting Paleo! It is hard at first but so worth it in the long run!
This was legit delicious! It was exactly like my mom’s recipe for Italian beef without the yucky ingredients. Everyone loved it!!
I am so glad you loved it!!
This is one of my favorite recipes and I have been craving it lately. Used the rest of my mixed up ranch seasoning and put a roast in the crock for dinner tonight.
Yeah!!
