This juicy and flavorful shredded beef roast is a versatile dish that can be used for a variety of meals. Whether you're planning to fill tacos, make a hearty sandwich, or serve it alongside roasted veggies, this melt-in-your-mouth slow-cooked beef will surely impress your taste buds and warm your heart.

Ingredients:

🥩 3 to 4 pounds bottom round beef
🧅 1/4 onion, chopped
🌿 2 bay leaves
🧄 4 garlic cloves, minced
🌶️ 2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
🧂 Kosher salt to taste (I used 1 tablespoon)
🧈 4 tablespoons of butter
💧 2 cups of water


Instructions:

  1. Preparation:
    • Start by cutting the bottom round beef into large chunks. This helps the meat cook evenly and absorb all the wonderful flavors.
    • Chop 1/4 of an onion and mince the garlic cloves.
  2. Seasoning:
    • Season the beef chunks generously with kosher salt and coarse black pepper. This will enhance the natural flavors of the beef.
  3. Cooking:
    • Instant Pot Method: Place the beef, chopped onion, bay leaves, minced garlic, butter, and water into the Instant Pot. Secure the lid and set it to high pressure for 40 minutes.
    • Slow Cooker Method: Combine the ingredients in the slow cooker. Set it to low and let it cook for 6 hours.
    • Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Place all the ingredients in a deep pan, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 4 hours.
  4. Finishing Touches:
    • Once cooked, transfer the beef to a bowl and let it cool slightly.
    • Shred the beef using your fingers or two forks. It should fall apart effortlessly.
  5. Storage:
    • Save the beef stock for later use, it’s packed with flavor.
    • Store the shredded beef in airtight containers or freezer bags. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 7 days or frozen for longer storage.
