Instructions

  2. Slow Cook to Tenderness: Cover and cook on low for 480 minutes or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
  3. Shred the Beef: Remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks, ensuring all those juicy flavors are captured.

Notes

Trim excess fat from the beef roast to avoid greasiness; adjust spices according to taste. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
