Ingredients

• 3 pounds Chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chuck roast, pressing it into the meat to ensure the flavor penetrates.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 6

Slice the yellow onion thinly and add it to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Deglaze the pot by pouring in the beef broth, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits.

Step 8

Stir in the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.

Step 9

Return the chuck roast to the pot, ensuring it is partially submerged in the sauce.

Step 10

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Bake for 4 hours, turning the roast halfway through to coat it in the sauce and ensure even cooking.

Step 12

Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes.

Step 13

Use two forks to shred the roast into bite-sized pieces, mixing it with the barbecue sauce in the pot.

Step 14

Serve the Chuck Roast Barbecue warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or in sandwiches for a satisfying meal.
