Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season it on all sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet with a wooden spoon. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
Add the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the beef is coated in the sauce.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours) until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once the beef is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker, stirring it into the barbecue sauce. Let it cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes to absorb more flavor.
Serve hot as a sandwich filling, over rice, in tacos, or alongside your favorite sides for a hearty, flavorful meal.
