VIRAL CHUCK ROAST
Ingredients
- 1 boneless beef chuck roast
- salt and pepper to generously season
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325. Season your roast generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Add to a baking dish, cover, and bake for 1 hr 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
- 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, I make different versions depending on what else I’m serving (ie. if you’re using the roast as taco meat, feel free to add some taco seasoning) so season it how you like! The important thing here is the cooking technique.
You can also make this in a crockpot but in my experience the result is not nicely crispy ends on the meat. The flavor however will still be amazing!
I like to cook my roast in an enameled cast iron that has a fitted lid but you are welcome to use a glass baking dish and can cover with aluminum foil

Love!!! We make the chuck roast tacos at least once a week. The whole family loves. We don’t add anything else but salt and pepper to season. It turns out perfectly in a 9 qt. Le Creuset.
I’m so happy to hear that!!! Making tacos is my favorite way to use this roast recipe! Thank you for sharing.
