Salt the chuck roast generously on all sides (and add seasonings if using) . Allow it to come up to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Use a cast-iron pan. Sear the edges of the roast. You can use butter or beef tallow. Then, put the meat in the crockpot.Alternative Method: After searing, instead of using a crockpot, you can place the meat in a deep baking dish.
Pour 1 cup of beef stock over the roast. If using the oven method, add enough additional broth until the meat is covered and cover with aluminum foil so the steam won’t escape.
For crockpot: Cook on low for 5-6 hours. If you are short on time, cook on high for about 4 hours.For oven: Place in preheated 350°F oven and cook for 3 to 4 hours.
Turn off the crockpot. Let it rest for 30 minutes. Shred the meat and enjoy the carnivore chuck roast.
