Ingredients

• 2 pounds steak (e.g., chuck steak or round steak)
• 1.5 cups barbecue sauce
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the steak. Pat it dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steak on each side for 2-3 minutes until browned. This step adds flavor but is optional if you're short on time.

Step 4

Transfer the seared steak to the crock pot.

Step 5

Layer the sliced onions and minced garlic over the steak in the crock pot.

Step 6

In a bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce until combined. Pour this mixture over the steak and onions in the crock pot.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 7-8 hours, or until the steak is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 8

Once cooked, carefully remove the steak from the crock pot and shred it with two forks if desired, or serve it whole.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables. Drizzle the sauce from the crock pot over the steak for extra flavor.
