Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Gluten-free BBQ sauce
• 1 large Onion
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear on each side for about 4-5 minutes until browned.

Step 3

While the beef is searing, thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 4

Remove the browned beef from the skillet and transfer it to a slow cooker.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix together the gluten-free BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, tamari, brown sugar, and smoked paprika.

Step 6

Scatter the sliced onion and minced garlic over the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 7

Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the beef and onions, ensuring the beef is fully covered in sauce.

Step 8

Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 9

Once cooked, carefully remove the beef from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the beef into bite-sized pieces.

Step 10

Return the shredded beef to the sauce in the slow cooker to combine and heat through.

Step 11

Serve the gluten-free BBQ beef hot with your choice of sides, such as gluten-free buns, coleslaw, or sweet potato fries.
