Slow Cooker Pulled Beef Recipe

Step 1

Preheat your slow cooker to low heat.

Step 2

Remove the chuck roast (or roasts) from their packaging and use a knife or fork to stab a few holes on all sides.

Step 3

Whisk together the olive oil and red wine vinegar then rub it all over the meat.

Step 4

Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, basil, parsley, and garlic powder on all sides.

Step 5

Place half of the onion on the bottom of the slow cooker followed by the roast. Sprinkle with garlic cloves and top with the remaining onion.

Step 6

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the beef shreds easily with a fork. If you check it after 8 hours, and it's not easy to pull apart, continue cooking for another 1-2 hours.

Step 7

Remove the roast from the crock pot and transfer to a cutting board. Pull the beef apart using two meat forks. Beef can be served immediately with juices over noodles or mashed potatoes. It also makes a great sandwich, taco, or burrito!
