Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 6 Soft hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted (optional)
- 2 cups Coleslaw (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to a slow cooker.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the slow cooker.
Add beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar to the slow cooker. Stir slightly to combine the liquids.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreddable.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid, then return the shredded beef to the sauce and stir to coat.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a skillet or under a broiler. Brush with melted butter if desired for extra flavor.
Assemble the sandwiches by piling the pulled barbecued beef onto the buns. Top with coleslaw if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
