Ingredients

• 3 pounds Chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion (sliced)
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Ground mustard

Directions

Step 1

Season the chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 3

Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker and lay the browned chuck roast on top.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and ground mustard to make the barbecue sauce.

Step 5

Pour the barbecue sauce over the chuck roast, ensuring it is well-coated.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any large pieces of fat.

Step 8

Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it into the sauce until evenly coated.

Step 9

Serve the barbecue beef warm on buns, over mashed potatoes, or alongside your favorite side dishes.
