Scale
Ingredients
- 1 boneless beef chuck roast, about 4 pounds
- Salt, to generously season
- Black pepper, to generously season
Instructions
- Season the roast: Generously season all sides of the 4-pound boneless beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Prepare for cooking: Place the seasoned chuck roast in a suitable cooking vessel such as a slow cooker or oven-safe roasting pan.
- Cook the roast: Cook the roast low and slow. If using an oven, preheat to 275°F (135°C) and roast uncovered for about 3.5 to 4 hours or until the meat is fork-tender. If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 8 hours or until tender and easy to shred.
- Rest and serve: Remove the roast from the heat and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing or shredding. This allows juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful meat.
Notes
- For an extra flavorful crust, sear the roast in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side before slow cooking.
- Letting the roast rest before slicing helps retain moisture and tenderness.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches about 195°F (90°C) for optimal tenderness.
- Adjust seasoning after cooking based on taste preferences.
- This recipe pairs well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
