Description
A delicious pulled beef sandwich recipe featuring tender, flavorful beef chuck roast, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 4 hamburger buns
- Coleslaw (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add the roast to the pot, browning it on all sides for about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Pour in the beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cover the Dutch oven and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- Remove the pot from the oven and shred the beef using two forks. Mix the shredded beef with the sauce in the pot.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired.
- Serve the pulled beef on the buns, topped with coleslaw if you like.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the beef mixture before cooking.
- If you prefer a sweeter flavor, use a honey barbecue sauce instead of regular barbecue sauce.
