Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Barbecue sauce
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 8 pieces Buns or rolls (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the beef chuck roast into the crock pot. Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika evenly over the roast.

Step 3

Scatter the sliced onion and minced garlic over and around the beef.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes.

Step 5

Pour the barbecue sauce mixture evenly over the contents in the crock pot, ensuring the beef is mostly submerged.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 7

Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef directly in the crock pot. Mix it well with the sauce and onions until fully combined.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the pulled beef barbecue warm on buns or rolls for sandwiches, or enjoy on its own with your favorite side dishes.
