Spicy shredded beef is served over french fries and topped with a creamy cilantro lime dressing in this homemade take on food truck fare.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I am a huge fan of food truck cuisine, and love living in a place where there is abundance of food trucks to choose from. But I also love re-creating food truck favorites at home, like these Slow Cooker Sriracha Beef Street Fries.
A beef roast is slow cooked in beef broth and spices until it’s fall-off-the-bone tender. Then it’s mixed with a bit of Sriracha sauce and served over hot cooked French fries.
A drizzle of creamy cilantro lime dressing is the perfect garnish, along with some fresh lime wedges and a sprinkling of cilantro.
You’ll actually feel like your eating at your favorite food truck.
And I suppose it goes without saying that this is the kind of meal my hungry teenage boys absolutely devoured! Everyone, including myself, went back for seconds!
I totally cheated on the French fries, and used the frozen variety. It’s just so easy! But you could go all out and make your own fries from scratch.
Tater tots and waffle fries would also be a delicious vehicle for this spicy, slow cooked beef. And if you’re not in the mood for beef, this recipe is equally tasty made with pork.
For those who like things extra spicy, I like to offer additional Sriracha sauce on the side. You could also top your street fries with fresh sliced jalapenos.
This is a meal we’ll definitely repeat often around here. The combination of spicy beef, crispy fries and the cool, creamy sauce was just so, so good.
This is the kind of meal I crave, so you know we’ll be eating it often.

I discovered at the last minute that I was out of sriracha so I went with half hot sauce and half gochujang. After I mixed it in, it didn’t really taste quite right. I thought I had made a big mistake and wasted a perfectly good pot roast. I put it in the fridge overnight, warmed, and served the next day and the flavors had all blended perfectly. Super, super tasty. I will definitely be making this again.

Hi Danelle,
I love this recipe! I live in a place with zero food trucks, so this is perfect for us. We can serve it out of the camper in the driveway to get the full effect I guess :). This looks amazing though and I definitely pinned it to make it!
