Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 0.5 cup beef broth
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes.
Rub the spice mixture evenly all over the beef chuck roast.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or ovenproof pot.
Sear the beef roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and beef broth.
Bring the sauce mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to combine.
Return the beef roast to the pot, ensuring it's submerged in the sauce.
Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven.
Cook for approximately 4-5 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef in the pot, mixing it with the sauce thoroughly.
Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve hot.
