Ingredients

Scale

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. Season your boneless beef chuck roast generously on both sides with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor throughout.
  2. Bake the Roast: Place the seasoned roast in a baking dish, cover it with a lid or foil, and bake for approximately 1 hour per pound, about 4 hours total, until the meat is tender and easily shreddable.
  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 until tender enough to shred.
  4. Increase Oven Temperature: Raise the oven temperature to 425°F to prepare for crisping the shredded roast.
  5. Toss in Rendered Fat: Toss the shredded beef pieces in the rendered fat left in the baking dish. This will help create a delicious crispy exterior.
  6. Crisp the Roast: Return the shredded beef to the oven, uncovered, and roast for about 25 minutes until the edges become nicely caramelized and crispy.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy the combination of tender, juicy meat with crispy caramelized bits!

Notes

  • The size of the chuck roast affects the cooking time—bake approximately 1 hour per pound.
  • Using rendered fat from the roast adds great flavor and helps crisp the shredded meat.
  • If the meat doesn’t shred easily, extend the initial baking time to achieve tenderness.
  • For extra flavor, you can add garlic powder or herbs before baking if desired.
  • Let the roast rest for 10 minutes after the initial baking before shredding to redistribute juices.
