- 14 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup Date syrup
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika

- 1.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast.
Season the roast with salt and black pepper, ensuring each side is covered.
Heat coconut oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef roast in the Dutch oven for 4-5 minutes on each side to brown. Remove the beef and set aside.
Peel and finely dice the large onion.
Mince the large garlic cloves.
In the same Dutch oven, reduce heat to medium, and add the diced onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, date syrup, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, and coconut aminos.
Place the seared beef back into the Dutch oven and coat it with the sauce.
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and place it in the preheated oven.
Allow to cook for about 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart.
Remove the beef from the pot and shred using two forks.
Mix the shredded beef with the remaining sauce in the pot.
Serve the Whole30 Classic Beef BBQ warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
