Welcome to a very manly Man Monday. Why is it so manly? Because you will FINALLY learn how to make a pull-apart roast. So for years I’ve been making roasts… This is usually how it goes…

Sarah: This is a really good roast Zach, good flavor.

–15 minutes later—

Sarah (still chewing the same piece of roast):  *Takes a gulp of water* Man, that was good.

Zach: Well, I’m glad you liked the first bite, because the rest of your roast is cold… who are we kidding? This roast sucks.

Sarah: No, no, no! The roast is very delicious.

Zach: That’s your way of saying the flavor is good but the tenderness is non-existent.

Sarah: … How was your day today? *Looks away sheepishly*

Well, my friends, I’m here to tell you that I have unlocked the key to a delicious pull-apart roast! Hear ye, hear ye! Listen up and take notes!

So, step 1 – the MOST IMPORTANT STEP. Pick a good roast. The best roasts will have some good marbling in them, like a chuck roast. Chuck roasts are moderate in price for good quality– that’s what I use! *Warning* If you use a different roast, you are straying from my “pull-apart guarantee”. Other good choices for roasts would be the ball tip and eye of round roasts. However, both of those will be tougher and will require longer roast times. Personally (and I may get flack from saying this, but I stand by my reasoning), I do NOT use rib eye or tenderloin for the slow-cooker. That’s like putting a fat diamond on a ring made of plastic… Just a waste.

Step 2 – Lots’o’patience. Patience. Maybe this is why most people struggle at making tender roasts… they aren’t willing to let it slow-cook for longer than 2 hours. If you slow-cook a roast for two hours and then throw a rage-fit when it’s not tender, I will take your Man Card from you and burn it.

That’s it. Two main steps to a GOOD pull-apart roast. Pick a good roast with a hefty heap of patience. You follow the steps outlined in this post and I promise you a delicious pull-apart roast. Now, if you follow the recipe outlined below… it will also taste VERY good. Promise.

Do this and impress those you entertain, be it family or friends. Soon they will be asking YOU how to be awesome.
