- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast, making sure to coat all sides.
- Pour the water or beef broth around the roast in the roasting pan or slow cooker.
- If using a roasting pan, cover it with a lid or foil. If using a slow cooker, cover it with the lid.
- Place the roast in the preheated oven or set the slow cooker to low heat.
- Cook the roast for about 6-8 hours in the oven or 8-10 hours in the slow cooker until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven or slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Shred the meat using two forks.
- If desired, you can strain the liquid from the roasting pan or slow cooker and serve it as a gravy with the shredded roast.
