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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Transfer the seared roast to your slow cooker.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the slow cooker, spreading it around the roast evenly.

Step 5

Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the beef, making sure it covers the meat completely.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the sauce to ensure even coating.

Step 8

Serve the BBQ beef warm on sandwich buns, over rice, or with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
