This pulled beef is best when made with a chuck roast, which is of the most affordable cuts of beef available.▶︎ It freezes and reheats well. Short on time?

This shredded beef is easy to double (or triple) to feed a hungry crew with minimal effort. Add some simple sides and your meal is complete. No Mayo Potato Salad and Caprese Pasta Salad are always a hit.The ingredient list is short and sweet.A few ingredient notes:Meat: Use a chuck roast. The marbled fat adds a lot of flavor to the meat and keeps it from drying out.Bouillon: Better than Bouillon is my favorite as it adds more robust beef flavor, but you can also use beef bouillon cubes.Every meal should be this easy to prepare.Simply add the chuck roast, soup mix, season with black pepper and pour hot water over the top.Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours. Carefully remove from slow cooker and place on cutting board.Use 2 forks to shred the beef, remove the ribbon of fat and discard. At this point, it is ready to eat. Alternatively, you can put the shredded meat back into the slow cooker (with the juices!) and keep it warm until needed.What is the best cut of meat for shredded beef? The toughest cuts of meat are the best for pulled beef. The marbled fat melts into the meat making it juicy and tender. Chuck roasts, shoulder roasts and rump roasts work well. Chuck is my favorite. Can I make pulled beef in the oven? Yes, you can! Simply place everything in a Dutch oven and bake at 250°F for 5 hours. Use 2 forks to shred the beef and serve! How do I tell when the beef is done? If the meat doesn't shred easily with a fork, it isn't done. When the meat is properly cooked it will literally fall apart with a gentle tug of the fork. How long does the cooked meat stay fresh? Slow Cooker Pulled Beef&nbsp;will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 6 months.✘ Low and slow is the key to tender meat in the slow cooker. Don't try and rush it.✘ Don't season the meat with salt. But be sure to use pepper! There is enough salt in the soup mix and the bouillon without adding additional salt. If you are watching your sodium intake, use reduced-sodium versions of the soup mix and bouillon.✘ Cook it long enough. Looks are deceiving because the meat will look like it is done much earlier than it is. If the meat doesn't shred easily with a fork, it isn't done. Put the lid back on and cook longer.✘ Use a roast with fat in it. This isn't the time to use lean beef as the end result will be dry and stringy. Use a less expensive cut of meat with fat in it and let the slow cooker works its magic.✘ Make it ahead of time! Slow cooker meals are great options for making ahead of time and freeze really well. Place the meat in a freezer bag and lay flat in the freezer for easy storage.You can never have too many meals that are easy to feed a group!Check out all of our main dishes.from votesPrint RecipePin RecipeShare by TextNutrition info not guaranteed to be accurate.« Mango MojitoRum Sour »We're the creative juices behind Garnish with Lemon.
