Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 0.33 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season it generously on all sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until evenly browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Place the sliced onions and minced garlic in the bottom of the crock pot, creating a bed for the beef roast.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.

Step 6

Place the seared beef roast on top of the onion and garlic bed in the crock pot. Pour the tangy sauce evenly over the roast.

Step 7

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

Step 8

After cooking, carefully remove the roast from the crock pot and place it on a serving platter. Use two forks to shred or slice the beef as desired.

Step 9

Optionally, skim any excess fat from the surface of the sauce in the crock pot. Drizzle the sauce over the beef or serve it on the side as a tangy gravy.

Step 10

Serve warm with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite roasted vegetables.
