Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion (sliced)
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
Instructions
Season the chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker and lay the browned chuck roast on top.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and ground mustard to make the barbecue sauce.
Pour the barbecue sauce over the chuck roast, ensuring it is well-coated.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4-5 hours) until the chuck roast is fork-tender and easily shredded.
Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any large pieces of fat.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it into the sauce until evenly coated.
Serve the barbecue beef warm on buns, over mashed potatoes, or alongside your favorite side dishes.
