Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.33 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Instructions
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season it generously on all sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until evenly browned. Remove and set aside.
Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin rings. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Place the sliced onions and minced garlic in the bottom of the crock pot, creating a bed for the beef roast.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
Place the seared beef roast on top of the onion and garlic bed in the crock pot. Pour the tangy sauce evenly over the roast.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
After cooking, carefully remove the roast from the crock pot and place it on a serving platter. Use two forks to shred or slice the beef as desired.
Optionally, skim any excess fat from the surface of the sauce in the crock pot. Drizzle the sauce over the beef or serve it on the side as a tangy gravy.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite roasted vegetables.
