Roasted Shredded Beef (Only 3 Ingredients)
Description
Roasting a beef chuck roast seasoned simply with salt and pepper allows the natural flavor and texture of the meat to shine. Slow roasting at 325°F for three to four hours breaks down connective tissues, producing meat that easily shreds with a fork. After shredding, the beef is baked uncovered at 425°F for about 15 minutes to crisp some edges, adding a satisfying contrast to the tender interior.
This straightforward preparation is practical for making shredded beef for sandwiches, tacos, or as a main protein component in meals that call for tender, well-seasoned beef. The minimal seasoning emphasizes the beef's inherent flavor without overwhelming it.
Ingredients
- 4 lbs beef chuck roast
- 1 tbsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to taste, ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Season beef generously on all sides.
- Place beef into an oven-safe pan, then cover it with a lid or foil. Let beef bake until tender and falls apart, about 3 to 4 hours.
- Remove from the oven, then shred with a fork or meat claws into small pieces.
- Bake uncovered at 425°F for about 15 minutes or until parts of beef become crispy.
