Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Barbecue sauce
• 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Finely chopped onion

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the salt, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this seasoning blend all over the beef roast.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until a crust forms, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, liquid smoke, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to form the barbecue sauce base.

Step 5

In the crock pot, spread the finely chopped onion evenly on the bottom.

Step 6

Place the seared beef roast on top of the onion layer in the crock pot.

Step 7

Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the beef, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the beef from the crock pot and shred it using two forks.

Step 10

Return the shredded beef to the crock pot and mix it with the sauce and onions. Allow it to cook for an additional 20 minutes on low to meld the flavors together.

Step 11

Serve the Texas beef barbecue on toasted buns, alongside coleslaw, or as desired. Enjoy!
