Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • two forks

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds boneless beef chuck roast Pick a nice fatty roast otherwise it won’t shred easily.
  • Salt and pepper to generously season

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F. Season your roast generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Add to a baking dish, cover, and bake for 1 hour per pound of meat.
  • Remove the roast from the oven and shred it into large chunks using two forks. If the roast is not pulling apart easily, put it back in the oven for 30 min.
  • Raise the oven heat to 425°F.
  • Toss the shredded pieces of roast around in the rendered fat and place it back in the oven, uncovered, for 25 minutes until you see some nice crispy caramelized ends.
  • Serve and ENJOY!!

Notes

While this recipe only requires salt and pepper, you can make different versions depending on what else you’re serving. Taco seasoning is a great addition. This can be cooked in an enameled cast iron or a glass baking dish covered with aluminum foil. Serve with roasted potatoes and carrots for a complete meal.
