Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (optional)
- 8 pieces Burger buns or sandwich rolls
- 1 cup Pickles, sliced (optional)
- 1 cup Coleslaw (optional)
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared roast to a slow cooker. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker, pouring it around the beef (not directly on top) to keep the seasoning intact.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, transfer the beef to a large cutting board and shred it using two forks. Discard any large pieces of fat.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the cooking liquid. If desired, stir in BBQ sauce for additional flavor.
Toast the burger buns or sandwich rolls lightly for extra texture (optional).
Assemble the sandwiches by piling the shredded beef onto the buns. Top with pickles, coleslaw, or your favorite condiments if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Half Time Shredded Beef Sandwiches!
