The Best cut of Beef to use for Shredded Beef

You don't need to worry about the toughness as by the time it is ready to eat, the meat will be tender and flavorsome. There is no need to buy expensive cuts of meat.
The best cuts of beef that you can use include chuck roast, rump roast, brisket, flank, or skirt. These may go by different names depending on the country you're living in.

Slow Cooker Pulled Beef Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 kg (2.2 lb) beef chuck
- 1 Tbsp garlic, crushed
- 125 ml (4.2 fl oz) red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup beef stock
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in the slow cooker except the beef. Mix until well combined.
- Add the beef, and baste with the marinade.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- Remove the beef from the slow cooker and place it to the side.
- Gently remove the fat from the beef and shred using two forks.
- Remove excess fat from the slow cooker by gently ladling it out. Pour the remaining marinade over the shredded beef.
- Serve & enjoy.
Recipe Tips
- You can brown the beef before placing it into the slow cooker. This process is a personal preference and won't profoundly impact the outcome of this dish.
- The slow cooker marinade is likely to be quite thin by the time it is finished cooking. You can thicken it up with some cornstarch and water. Just mix one tablespoon of water with one tablespoon of cornstarch. Once combined, add to the pulled beef marinade.
- As I mentioned above, you can mix the beef in with a BBQ sauce rather than the marinade that we cook with the beef.
Note: I use a 5.5L (6 Quart) slow cooker for all the recipes that I have on this website unless specified. If you have a smaller or larger slow cooker, then you might need to adjust the ingredients.
