Transfer all ingredients to the slow cooker.

  3. Remove beef with tongs and shred with two forks on a separate plate. Carefully pour the gravy the meat has been cooking in into a blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
  4. Place shredded beef in a serving platter or back into the slow cooker. Add desired amount of gravy and save the rest to serve on the side.
