Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 4 pounds)
  • Salt (to generously season)
  • Black pepper (to generously season)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Season: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Generously season both sides of the chuck roast with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
  2. Initial Bake: Place the roast in a covered baking dish and bake it at 325°F for 1 hour per pound, about 4 hours total for a 4-pound roast, to tenderize the meat.
  3. Shred the Meat: Remove the roast from the oven and use two forks to shred it into large chunks. If the meat does not pull apart easily, return it to the oven for an additional 30 minutes to soften further.
  4. Increase Oven Temperature: Raise the oven temperature to 425°F (218°C) to prepare for caramelizing the shredded meat.
  5. Toss and Caramelize: Toss the shredded beef pieces around in the rendered fat in the baking dish. Spread them out evenly and return the dish uncovered to the oven for 25 minutes or until the shredded meat develops crispy, caramelized edges.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your tender, juicy, and crispy chuck roast!

Notes

  • Use a good quality chuck roast, preferably boneless, for the best results.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the natural beef flavor.
  • If the roast isn’t shredding easily, giving it more time to cook will help tenderize the meat.
  • Be careful not to overcook during caramelization to avoid burning the crispy edges.
  • This roast is great served with sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or in sandwiches.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
