Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Sear the beef in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the roast to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add them to the crock pot.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and onions in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours).
After cooking, use two forks to shred the beef directly in the crock pot, mixing it with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the shredded barbecue beef on sandwich buns, with a side of coleslaw, or your favorite accompaniments. Enjoy!
