Did somebody say Taco Tuesday?
Over the years, I’ve made plenty of shredded chicken and Mexican-style chicken dishes, but I can’t say there’s been a lot of beef or shredded beef on the menu. It’s probably because we don’t eat a lot of red meat. Chicken, ground turkey and fish are the most commonly used meats in my house. Maybe you can say the same; however, this simple pulled beef recipe might become a part of your family’s meal rotation.
If you love tacos, burritos, nachos, beef sandwiches, and more — this recipe is worth trying. Making approximately 8-10 servings, for a family of two to four, you’ll get a couple of meals from it. Winning.
Enjoy, friends. I can’t wait to hear what you make with this deliciousness.
What cut is best for shredded beef?
The best cuts of meat for tender, juicy shredded beef are actually the toughest cuts. Chuck roast (used for this recipe) is great for slow cooking. It becomes tender and pulls apart easily after hours in a crockpot.
Can you freeze shredded beef?
Yes, you can freeze shredded beef. Place in a quart-sized freezer bag and lay flat, making it easier for storage. Most importantly, when reheating, be sure to thaw the meat in the refrigerator before heating it up.
