Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season it on all sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet with a wooden spoon. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 4

Add the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the beef is coated in the sauce.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours) until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 6

Once the beef is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.

Step 7

Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker, stirring it into the barbecue sauce. Let it cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes to absorb more flavor.

Step 8

Serve hot as a sandwich filling, over rice, in tacos, or alongside your favorite sides for a hearty, flavorful meal.
