Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
Using two forks, shred the beef.

Peel the plantain like a banana and slice into coins. Fry in a large non-stick skillet with coconut oil, for a few minutes per side, or until golden brown. Place on a paper plate when cooked, until all are ready. Do not drain on a paper towel, they will stick!
