Potluck Chuck Roast Slow Cooked

If you're looking for an easy high protein meal to please a crowds, this slow cooked super tender chuck roast is the one for you. This chuck roast is so simple, just the chuck roast itself, some oil, some lime juice, and seasonings. It's very healthy, juicy, and tender.

This would be fantastic for a Father's day dinner or Mother's day brunch, a cookout, or a potluck. It really would be a great recipe to bring anywhere that you're feeding a crowd.

This was inspired by my sheet pan steak fajitas on this site, and pairs well with this flour tortillas recipe. You could serve this in a wrap, on your favorite rolls, over potatoes, or by itself.

You'll love this recipe because it’s a comforting, hearty meal that’s full of rich flavor and incredibly easy to prepare. It's perfect for impressing guests, regular family dinners or contributing to a potluck with minimal effort.

Ingredients

The ingredients are very minimal.

• Chuck Roast
• Lime Juice
• Garlic Powder
• Onion Powder
• Seasoned Salt
• Avocado Oil or Olive Oil

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Step 1. Get a chuck roast that is about 3-3.5 lbs. Mix together your dry spices and lime juice and rub it onto the entire chuck roast. Let it marinate for several hours or over night.

Step 2. Before cooking, drizzle avocado oil or olive oil over it and add it to an oven safe baking dish.

Step 3. Bake low and slow at around 250-300℉ covered. After a couple hours you will want to flip it and cover it back up. I like the internal temp to reach about 206℉. Cook to whatever temperature you'd like but we prefer it to be super tender. It should shred easily with a fork.

Step 4. Shred and serve on a tortilla, over mashed potatoes, or by itself. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Hint: Instead of trying to keep foil on the baking dish, I like to cover with a sheet pan.

Variations

Ways to serve + Pairing options

Equipment

All you need are measuring spoons, a meat thermometer, a baking dish, and something to cover such as foil or a sheet pan.

Storage

You can store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or you can freeze for a later date. I like to freeze in individual serving bags and grab them for lunches when we don't have any leftovers.
