Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef chuck roast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Rub the seasoning evenly over the surface of the meat.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and water. Mix well to create the BBQ sauce.
Pour half of the BBQ sauce into the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom. Return the seared beef to the skillet, ensuring it is coated well with the sauce.
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 3-3.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Carefully remove the beef from the oven. Shred the beef using two forks, mixing it with the remaining BBQ sauce from the skillet.
Optional: For extra flavor and caramelization, spread the shredded beef on a baking sheet, drizzle with a small amount of reserved BBQ sauce, and broil on high for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the BBQ beef on toasted buns, over rice, or alongside your favorite sides. Enjoy!
