Ingredients
Scale
Beef
- 1 boneless beef chuck roast, about 4 pounds
- Salt, to generously season
- Black pepper, to generously season
Instructions
- Season the Roast: Liberally season the entire surface of the chuck roast with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure the seasoning covers all sides for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C), which is ideal for slow roasting the beef to tender perfection.
- Prepare for Roasting: Place the seasoned chuck roast on a roasting pan or a rack inside a baking dish to allow even heat circulation during cooking.
- Roast the Meat: Slowly roast the beef in the oven for approximately 3 to 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches about 195°F (90°C) and the meat is fork-tender.
- Rest the Roast: Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Resting helps retain the juices, making each bite juicy and flavorful.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the roast against the grain into thick or thin slices as desired and serve as a main dish with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
- Allowing the roast to rest after cooking is crucial for juicy meat and easier slicing.
- You can add herbs like rosemary or thyme for additional aroma if desired.
- Leftover roast can be used in sandwiches or stews.
