Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 medium (sliced) Onion
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 6 pieces Sandwich buns
- 0.5 cup (optional) Pickles
- 0.5 cup (optional) Mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large slow cooker or crockpot, place the beef chuck roast in the bottom.
Pour the beef broth over the roast, ensuring the liquid reaches the bottom of the pot.
Add the sliced onion and minced garlic on top of the roast.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce evenly over the meat.
Set the slow cooker to low heat, cover, and cook for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once the beef is done cooking, use two forks to shred the meat directly in the slow cooker. Mix it with the juices to ensure it stays moist and flavorful.
Toast the sandwich buns lightly for added texture, if desired.
Spread mayonnaise on one or both sides of the bun (optional).
Pile the shredded beef onto the bottom half of each bun, adding pickles if desired.
Close the sandwiches with the top half of the buns and serve immediately.
