Chuck Roast Cooking Time
All ovens vary. My oven may take longer than yours to cook this chuck roast to temperature! Because of this, it’s a good idea to check on your roast before the cooking time is up. I recommend checking on the roast at the 3 hour mark. You may find your roast is cooked through and shreds easily early.

Beef Chuck Roast Internal Temp
When it’s ready, the chuck roast will read about 190 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit on a meat thermometer. However, rather than checking the internal temp of chuck roast in the oven, check for its tenderness according to whether it’s fork-tender. If you can shred it easily with a fork, it’s done.
