Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chuck roast, pressing it into the meat to ensure the flavor penetrates.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
Slice the yellow onion thinly and add it to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Deglaze the pot by pouring in the beef broth, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits.
Stir in the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
Return the chuck roast to the pot, ensuring it is partially submerged in the sauce.
Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 4 hours, turning the roast halfway through to coat it in the sauce and ensure even cooking.
Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes.
Use two forks to shred the roast into bite-sized pieces, mixing it with the barbecue sauce in the pot.
Serve the Chuck Roast Barbecue warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or in sandwiches for a satisfying meal.
