Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need Sear Roast before placing in the Slow Cooker?
If you want to sear your roast, you can do that first by place the roast in skillet over medium-high heat. Turn the roast to sear each side. This won’t affect the cooking time, it just adds some additional flavor.
How to Store Leftover Shredded Beef
Store the leftover shredded beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator. We like to make sure to place the beef with the liquid to keep the meat from drying out.
How to Reheat
We recommend reheating the meat in the microwave or on the stovetop. You can even heat in the oven depending on how much you have left.
How to Freeze Shredded Beef
This shredded beef freezes great once the beef is cooled. Place in freezer safe containers or freeze ziplock bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight when ready to servce.
