These are the perfect lazy steak tacos that are full of flavor and so easy to make. They take 7 to 8 hours to cook, but only about 5 minutes of actual work. Whether you’re looking for an easy weeknight dinner, a protein-packed meal prep option for the week, or a yummy dish for a dinner party, these Slow Cooker Shredded Steak Tacos are sure to be a hit.
This recipe makes tacos, but you could definitely use it to make salads, a taco bowl or burritos. The toppings are also customizable, I just made it with what I like best, so you can easily change or add based on your preferences. Go ahead and give this recipe a try as is or make it your own, but either way, you have to try it! Looking for a slow cooker? I love this one!
Step by Step
Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat. Add avocado oil and once it is hot, sear meat for about 2 minutes each side until golden brown and a nice crust has formed.
Move the steak to the slow cooker.
Add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker.
Cover and cook for 7-8 hours on low heat.
Shred the steak with 2 forks and season to taste.
Assemble your tacos, garnish with cilantro and enjoy!

SO insanely good! Perfect for tacos and also used for salads throughout the week as meal prep! Will make again and again
So good and so easy! I made for Cinco and everyone loved. I will make again.
Yummy! Do you think I could use a small chuck roast for this?
I haven’t tried it but I think it absolutely would work!
I’ve made this recipe several times now – it’s incredible and so easy!
10/10!!! Easy, amazing flavor and so many ways to eat (tacos/ salad/ rice bowl). Crowd pleaser I keep coming back to!
Literally 10/10 – so easy and delicious. I topped mine with lettuce, pickled turnip and jalapeno and a chipotle crema.
these were so easy and so delicious! Huge hit among everyone and perfect to make for a group. Will definitely be making again!
This was a huge hit for my family. I used the instant pot to saute the steak, then did manual for 40 min, and it shredded up perfectly!
