Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 3 tablespoons Liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons Barbecue seasoning rub
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 large sheets Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and set it on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the barbecue seasoning rub, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Rub the seasoning mixture generously all over the roast, ensuring an even coating.
Drizzle the liquid smoke and Worcestershire sauce over the roast, rubbing it in gently to enhance the flavors.
Pour 1 cup of beef broth around the base of the roast to add moisture during cooking.
Wrap the roast tightly in the aluminum foil, ensuring it is completely sealed to lock in moisture. Place the foil-wrapped roast on a rimmed baking sheet.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and cook for 8 hours (or until fork-tender). This low-and-slow method mimics the deep-pit barbecue cooking technique.
Once fully cooked, carefully remove the roast from the oven and let it rest in the foil for 20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Unwrap the roast, shred the meat with two forks, and serve with your favorite barbecue sauce, side dishes, or in sandwiches.
