Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Beef Base
  • 3.5 lb boneless beef chuck roast round roast can be used as an alternative
Cooking Liquid
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Stone House style seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder blend

Method
 

  1. Place the beef roast in the bottom of the slow cooker. Center the roast so heat surrounds the meat evenly during cooking.
  2. Pour the beef broth over the roast. This liquid keeps the meat moist and forms the base for flavorful cooking juices.
  3. Drizzle the Worcestershire sauce over the roast. Sprinkle the Stone House seasoning evenly across the surface of the beef.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on High for about 4 hours or on Low for 6 to 8 hours until the beef becomes very tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
  5. Carefully remove the cooked roast from the slow cooker using tongs. Place it on a cutting board or large plate and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
  6. Use two forks to gently shred the beef into thin strands. If the meat does not shred easily, return it to the slow cooker and cook longer.
  7. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir it into the cooking juices. Set the slow cooker to Warm and allow the beef to sit for about 1 hour so it absorbs the broth and flavor.
  8. Serve immediately or store the shredded beef with some of the juices in an airtight container for later use.

Notes

For the most tender results, cook the beef on the low setting for 6 to 8 hours. Always return the shredded meat to the cooking juices before serving to keep it moist and flavorful. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir it into the hot cooking juices until thickened.
