Ingredients
- 2 lb chuck roast
- 2 tbsp butter
Method
PREP
- Cut 2 lb chuck roast into large chunks and season with salt, 1 tsp cumin, and 1 tsp chili powder.
COOKING
- Sear the beef in 2 tbsp butter over medium-high until browned on all sides.
- Add a splash of water or broth, cover, and braise at 300F for 3 to 3.5 hours until fork-tender.
FINISH
- Shred with two forks, skim the buttery liquid, then crisp the shreds in a hot skillet 3 to 4 minutes for browned edges; moisten with the reserved liquid and serve. Serves 4.
💡 Pro-Tip: Low and slow breaks down the collagen in chuck into gelatin — rushing the braise leaves the beef tough and dry.
