Cooking Instructions:

Begin by placing any optional ingredients, such as onions and garlic, at the bottom of the crock pot.

Season the roast with the steak seasoning, then place it on top of the onions in the crock pot.

Pour the beef broth over the roast and add the diced butter on top. If you're using additional ingredients like green chilies or lime juice, add them now.

Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high heat for 6 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Chuck roast is recommended for fork-tender results, making it an ideal choice for this dish.

Once cooked, carefully remove the beef from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board. Shred the beef using two forks.

Return the shredded beef to the crock pot and mix it with the cooking juices and any onions or other ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Extra Tips:

When preparing your crock pot shredded beef, consider skimming any excess fat from the cooking liquid for a leaner dish.

If you prefer to enhance the flavor, you can marinate the roast overnight with your seasoning blend.

Additionally, for a spicier kick, adding jalapeños or chipotle peppers can elevate the dish.

Always verify to serve the shredded beef warm, and don't hesitate to use it in various recipes such as enchiladas, burritos, or even as a topping for salads.
