Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef chuck roast
- 2 cups BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 Onion, diced
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sear the beef chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step seals in the juices and enhances the flavor.
Transfer the seared roast to your slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the slow cooker, spreading it around the roast evenly.
Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the beef, making sure it covers the meat completely.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on 'low' for 8 hours or 'high' for 4-5 hours. Cooking on low is recommended for the most tender results.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the sauce to ensure even coating.
Serve the BBQ beef warm on sandwich buns, over rice, or with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
