Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Season the Roast: Generously season the entire surface of the boneless beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper, ensuring an even coating to enhance flavor during cooking.
  2. Prepare for Cooking: Place the seasoned chuck roast into your cooking vessel, typically a slow cooker, Instant Pot, or oven-safe pan depending on your chosen method. Make sure the roast is properly positioned for even cooking.
  3. Cooking the Roast: Cook the chuck roast slowly at low heat to break down connective tissues and achieve a tender, juicy texture. This can be done by roasting in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 3 to 4 hours, slow cooking on low for 6 to 8 hours, or pressure cooking in an Instant Pot for about 60 to 75 minutes.
  4. Rest the Meat: Once cooked, remove the chuck roast and let it rest for 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and moist roast.
  5. Serve: Slice or shred the roast as desired and serve with your preferred sides for a hearty and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches about 190°F for optimal tenderness.
  • Letting the meat rest after cooking is crucial to keep it juicy.
  • Feel free to add herbs, garlic, or broth to the cooking vessel for additional flavor if desired.
  • This recipe is very flexible and works well with oven roasting, slow cooking, or pressure cooking.
