- Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef in a pan before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and color.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid is what will give your pulled beef its flavor. Use a combination of beef broth, water, and spices to create a flavorful base.
- Cook the beef on low for at least 8 hours: The longer you cook the beef, the more tender it will become. Cook the beef on low for at least 8 hours, or up to 12 hours.
- Shred the beef with two forks: Once the beef is cooked, shred it with two forks. This is the easiest way to get the beef into small, bite-sized pieces.
