Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef chuck roast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 large Onion (sliced)
- 6 pieces Optional: Hamburger buns
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
Add the sliced onion to the pot and sauté for 2–3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Pour in the beef broth to deglaze the pot, stirring well.
Return the roast to the pot and cover it tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Place it in the preheated oven and roast for 3 hours, or until the beef becomes fork-tender.
Remove the pot from the oven and carefully shred the roast using two forks. Discard any excess fat or gristle as needed.
In a medium bowl, combine barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until smooth.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the shredded beef, stirring to coat evenly.
Return the pot to the oven uncovered and cook for an additional 30–40 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, spoon the roast beef barbecue onto hamburger buns for sandwiches or pair with your favorite sides like coleslaw or mashed potatoes.
