Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 8 pieces Buns or rolls (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Place the beef chuck roast into the crock pot. Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika evenly over the roast.
Scatter the sliced onion and minced garlic over and around the beef.
In a medium bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture evenly over the contents in the crock pot, ensuring the beef is mostly submerged.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef directly in the crock pot. Mix it well with the sauce and onions until fully combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the pulled beef barbecue warm on buns or rolls for sandwiches, or enjoy on its own with your favorite side dishes.
