Guess what – the Whole30 Slow Cooker Ropa Vieja is the recipe I bet you ALWAYS have the ingredients for, but have never tried. This comforting dish is easily thrown together and super versatile.

This recipe for Whole30 Slow Cooker Ropa Vieja will be in weekly rotation in the Allen house. Seriously. The shredded beef is incredibly tender and the flavors of the crushed tomatoes, onions, garlic, and the tang of the vinegar are EVERYTHING. It’s not a traditional Cuban rendition but I have added options to change things up if you please!

My Whole30 Slow Cooker Ropa Vieja will be an instant favorite amongst your family. I served mine alongside some brown rice and tostones but it would be just as tasty with a Whole30 or Paleo replacement for the rice and sautéed sweet plantains in place of the tostones. Also, you could always stuff the beef in a tortilla and call it a taco.

I heard you! I asked my loyal followers what kind of recipes they would like to see here on FirstandFull.com and the overwhelming response was slow cooker recipes. I thought for sure people were going to request instant pot recipes but the trusty slow cooker won out.
