Start by preparing the steak. Pat it dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steak on each side for 2-3 minutes until browned. This step adds flavor but is optional if you're short on time.
Transfer the seared steak to the crock pot.
Layer the sliced onions and minced garlic over the steak in the crock pot.
In a bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce until combined. Pour this mixture over the steak and onions in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 7-8 hours, or until the steak is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the steak from the crock pot and shred it with two forks if desired, or serve it whole.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables. Drizzle the sauce from the crock pot over the steak for extra flavor.
