Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear on each side for about 4-5 minutes until browned.
While the beef is searing, thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Remove the browned beef from the skillet and transfer it to a slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, mix together the gluten-free BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, tamari, brown sugar, and smoked paprika.
Scatter the sliced onion and minced garlic over the beef in the slow cooker.
Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the beef and onions, ensuring the beef is fully covered in sauce.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the beef from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the beef into bite-sized pieces.
Return the shredded beef to the sauce in the slow cooker to combine and heat through.
Serve the gluten-free BBQ beef hot with your choice of sides, such as gluten-free buns, coleslaw, or sweet potato fries.
