Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Generously season the boneless beef chuck roast on both sides with salt and pepper.

Place the seasoned chuck roast into your preheated Dutch oven or a baking dish. Cover it with a lid or aluminum foil.

Bake the roast for approximately 1 hour per pound, about 4 hours for a 4-pound roast.

Once baked, carefully remove the roast and shred the meat into large chunks.

Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (218°C) to help crisp the edges of the meat.

Spread the shredded meat evenly on a baking sheet and bake uncovered for about 25 minutes.

Once crisped, serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
