Ingredients

Beef Roast

3-4 pound chuck roast
olive oil
Kosher salt
black pepper

BBQ Sauce

3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3/4 - 1 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 cup beef broth

Instructions

Generously salt and pepper all sides of the chuck roast. Drizzle oil in a skillet and sear the roast on high heat until browned on all sides. Place the roast in the crock pot.
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, onion, mustard, honey and paprika.
Pour beef broth over the roast, then drizzle on the homemade BBQ sauce. Place the lid on the crock pot.
Cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours until the roast is fall-apart tender.
Remove roast from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Serve on warm rolls for sandwiches or as a main dish with your favorite sides.

Notes

Oven Instructions: Sear the roast in a Dutch oven. Pour beef stock into the pot and drizzle homemade BBQ sauce over the roast. Cover and cook at 350°F for 2 to 2½ hours until the roast is fork tender.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, stovetop, or crock pot before serving.
Freezing: Freeze shredded beef in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat before serving.
