Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) or prepare a slow cooker on low heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, black pepper, and salt.
Rub the mixture all over the beef chuck roast to thoroughly coat it.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until it develops a browned crust, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared beef to a roasting pan if using the oven, or directly to the slow cooker.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef, ensuring it is evenly coated.
If using the oven, cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil. If using a slow cooker, place the lid on securely.
Cook the beef for 4 hours in the oven or 8 hours on low in the slow cooker, or until the beef is tender and easily shreddable with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the pan or slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded beef to the sauce and stir to combine and coat the meat evenly.
Serve warm on sandwich buns, over mashed potatoes, or alongside your favorite BBQ sides.
