Instructions

1. Prepare the beef

• Trim excess fat from the roast if needed.

• Season all sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

2. Layer ingredients in the slow cooker

1. Place sliced onions and garlic at the bottom.

2. Lay the beef on top.

3. Mix barbecue sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and chili powder in a small bowl.

4. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef, coating it evenly.

3. Cook

• Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours or high for 4–6 hours, until beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

4. Shred the beef

• Remove beef from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.

• Return shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir into the sauce to coat.

5. Serve

• Serve on buns for sandwiches, over rice, with roasted vegetables, or as tacos.

• Top with extra BBQ sauce, coleslaw, or pickles if desired.

🌟 Tips

• For extra flavor, sear the roast in a hot skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before slow cooking.

• Use a smoky BBQ sauce for a deeper flavor profile.

• Can be made a day ahead — leftovers taste even better after the flavors meld.

• Freeze extra shredded BBQ beef in portioned containers for quick meals.
