Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder

- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Beef broth

Directions
Step 1
Begin by trimming any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and patting it dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, salt, beef broth, Dijon mustard, and chili powder to create the BBQ sauce.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast for about 4 minutes on each side, or until it is browned all over.
Step 4
Place the seared beef chuck roast into the slow cooker.
Step 5
Pour the prepared sugar-free BBQ sauce over the beef. Ensure the beef is well-coated.
Step 6
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Step 8
Return the shredded beef to the sauce in the slow cooker and stir to combine.
Step 9
Serve the BBQ beef warm. It pairs well with roasted vegetables, salad, or used as a filling for sandwiches.
