Tips
- If your roast is smaller than 4 lbs, try using an “hour per pound” method.
- You’ll need to use a nice fatty roast or else it will never get to the point where it shreds easily.
- If you’re having trouble shredding it, it’s likely a tough cut of meat, for which there is no fix.
- Grass-fed roasts can be tough; organic, pasture-raised beef is often preferred.
- Season the roast as desired, for example, with taco seasoning if using it as taco meat.
