Notes
- While we recommend trimming large excess pieces of fat, we like to keep some fat as it really helps with flavor.
- Chuck roast is ideal for shredded beef sandwiches. The fat melts as it cooks, flavoring the beef and keeping it from drying out. Plus, in my experience, it's the most tender pull-apart cut when it comes to making any kind of shredded beef in the crockpot.
