Equipment
- Baking dish with lid or aluminum foil
- Forks for shredding
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 boneless beef chuck roast about 4 lbs
- Salt and pepper to season be generous!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Season your roast generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the roast in a baking dish, cover it with foil or a lid, and bake for 4 hours.
- Remove the roast from the oven and shred it into large chunks using two forks. If the roast is not pulling apart easily, return it to the oven for an additional 30 minutes.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (218°C).
- Toss the shredded meat in the rendered fat and place it back in the oven, uncovered, for about 25 minutes, or until you see some crispy ends forming.
- Serve the chuck roast and savor every bite!
Notes
- For smaller roasts, use an “hour per pound” method.
- A 4 lb roast serves 6-7 people.
- Feel free to add other seasonings as desired.
- Use a fatty cut for easy shredding; tough cuts don’t shred well.
- Grass-fed roasts can be hit or miss; I prefer organic, pasture-raised beef.
