For slow cooking, I find that cuts like chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs work best. They have a good amount of marbling, which makes the meat tender and flavorful after hours of cooking. Chuck roast is my go-to because it's usually affordable and always turns out delicious. Brisket is another great option, especially if you like a bit of a challenge and lots of flavor.

The cut of beef that is best for slow cooking is Chuck Steak, Round Steak, Topside, Blade Steak, Silverside Steak, Skirt Steak, Shin Gravy Beef and Sausage is also good for slow cooking.

Chuck Roast is one of the most popular slow cooker options for meat because of how tender and flavorful it becomes after several hours of slow cooking.

Simply add the meat to your slow cooker with aromatics, stock and sauces and cook either on High for 4-5 hours or on Low for 5-8 hours.

How do you make meat tender in a slow cooker?

Choosing a cut of beef best suited for low and slow cooking is the ideal way to get extra tender meat.

If the slow cooker isn't hot enough, the meat will not cook properly, resulting in a tough texture.

Make sure your slow cooker is functioning correctly and set to the right temperature for the dish you're preparing.
