Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 cups BBQ sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8 pieces buns (optional)
Instructions
Peel and slice the onion into thin rings and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set these aside.
Pat dry the beef chuck roast with paper towels and season it on all sides with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef chuck roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until it develops a deep brown crust. This step is optional but enhances the flavor.
Transfer the seared beef to a crock pot.
Add the sliced onions and minced garlic evenly around and over the beef in the crock pot.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly 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 until the beef is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef directly in the crock pot, mixing it with the sauce and onions.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the shredded beef BBQ warm on buns for sandwiches, or over rice, mashed potatoes, or as desired.
