Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups Beef stock
• 2 cups BBQ sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 6 pieces Sandwich rolls
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Pickles (optional)
• 1 cup Cole slaw (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika on all sides.

Step 2

Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin rings. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a slow cooker, spread the onion slices evenly on the bottom. Place the seasoned beef chuck roast on top of the onions.

Step 4

Add minced garlic, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 cup of BBQ sauce to the slow cooker. Ensure the beef is partially submerged in the liquid.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreddable.

Step 6

Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat or connective tissue.

Step 7

Strain the cooking liquid, reserving about 1 cup of broth. Add the reserved broth and the remaining 1 cup of BBQ sauce to the shredded beef and mix well.

Step 8

To prepare the sandwich rolls, slice them in half and lightly toast them in a skillet or under a broiler. For added flavor, spread butter on the cut sides before toasting.

Step 9

Assemble the sandwiches by piling the BBQ beef mixture onto the bottom half of each roll. Add pickles and/or cole slaw if desired, then place the top half of the roll on top.

Step 10

Serve the BBQ beef sandwiches warm, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if preferred.
